The first 15 minutes of the game passed, with both Arsenal and Ajax having a shot on goal combined.

It was Pire's long-range shot from outside the box.

Ajax haven't had a shot on goal yet.

Arsene Wenger couldn't read it on the sidelines.

Ajax have put up a tight defensive system at the back, which is understandable, limiting Henry with more defenders, and Henry deserves that treatment.

But what are Ajax's attacking players doing?

Ibrahimovic has never stepped into the box at all, he has always acted as a fulcrum in front of the box, passing the ball to him and he will pass it back to his team-mates.

Sneijder and Van der Vaart are also more like a wide midfielder, who doesn't cross down the edge or cut inside the box.

Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, Qin Xiong, van der Vaart.

If the four of them formed the big diamond shape of Ajax's offensive end in the second half of the last game, then today from the beginning, these four people have narrowed this big diamond shape, and the distance between them is closer, although the connection is more stable, but for the impact threat in the penalty area, it is almost zero!

For this, Coman is really helpless, not to put on a superb technical and tactical trick, nor is he playing tricks.

It's the limit of this group of Ajax players, and it's here.

Without the strength to crush Arsenal, how can you beat the opponent's tactics?

Ajax first limit the opponent's goals, and then on this basis to create zào opportunities, if the frontcourt players are too scattered, it is easy for Arsenal to cut the attacking formation, teammates and teammates can not be connected, the possibility of creating zào opportunities will be greatly reduced.

They can only cooperate more in a small area in order to create more opportunities.

When 20 minutes have passed since the game. Arsene Wenger was stunned on the sidelines.

In the 21st minute, Qin Xiong came to Vieira and Silva with the ball in the middle, he crossed the ball to Sneijder on the left, and then ran to the right side, Sneijder passed the ball back to Galasek in the middle of the back. The Czech veteran passed the ball directly to Qin Xiong without stopping the ball.

At this time, although he was in a parallel position to Vieira, Qin Xiong did not try to break through to the middle, but shot directly from a distance!

Thirty-five yards from the goal, Qin Xiong blasted a long-range shot of extremely high quality and headed towards the top right corner of the goal.

Lehmann made a world-class save and single-handedly blocked the ball off the line!

'Ajax almost scored! A long shot from Qin Xiong! The ball was shot beautifully. Goalkeeper Lehmann also made a wonderful save! ”

Two minutes later, Qin Xiong repeated his old trick in the middle and continued to seduce Vieira and Silva, he did not try to break through, but only used the possession threat to contain and attract the opponent. Then he sent a comfortable diagonal pass to Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart was on the right side of the penalty area, also shot from a distance, rubbed his left foot, and made an inward curling ball, the Dutch golden boy wanted to shoot the ball into the far post, but unfortunately, the distance was a little far, in order to ensure power and ball speed. The angle was not grasped well, and it was about a meter away from the goal.

But Ajax clearly threatened the shot.

Three minutes later, when Ashley Cole wanted to keep up with Van der Vaart and limit his long-range shots. Qin Xiong took a horizontal dribble in front of Vieira and decisively sent a through ball, which rolled past Ashley Cole, and Ibrahimovic, who was diagonally inserted between full-back and centre-back behind Toure, stopped the ball in the penalty area!

Toure and Campbell flanked Ibrahimovic on both sides of the front, and Ibrahimovic decisively half-turned and volleyed.

It's Lyman again!

He kept out Ibrahimovic's shot at the near post.

Eevee gritted his teeth and slapped his palms as he turned his head. Seeing Qin Xiong, who was full of coldness, making a calm gesture towards him, Yibu nodded at Qin Xiong. Still full of fighting spirit.

The Arsenal fans in the stands had some scalp tingling.

What's going on?

Ajax are on the offensive with a sudden surge, and every attack is extremely threatening. What the hell is going on?

Arsene Wenger's mind was racing, as if he had a three-dimensional picture of the two sides on the pitch in his mind.

Ajax used a four-man attacking group to challenge Arsenal's solid six-man defence, using what was probably the most appropriate strategy!

Ibrahimovic withdrew from the penalty area, just in front of Qin Xiong, and Sneijder and Van der Vaart within.

Coupled with Galasek behind Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong, who is surrounded by his teammates, can easily connect with his teammates in all directions in the midfield!

This ensures the fluidity of their attack.

At the same time, Qin Xiong, as a commander, not only has accurate passing ability, but also his ball control ability is also excellent.

In the face of Patrick Vieira or Silva, if Arsenal only have one midfielder to freeze Qin Xiong, then Qin Xiong can use guò to play long-range shots by combining with his teammates' passes and runs even if he is not a man.

If the two midfielders were to block Qin Xiong, it would be true that Qin Xiong would not be able to keep the ball for a long time, and it would be impossible for him to step forward alone, but he would give Sneijder and Van der Vaart the opportunity to create a long-range shot, allowing them to cut across the middle and attack the goal diagonally to burst into threat from a long distance.

Arsenal's defence, if they don't want to risk being hit behind the ball, their defenders don't dare to come forward and press closely.

The two full-backs, whoever stepped forward to block either Sneijder or Van der Vaart, lost their ability to control the area on the left and right sides of the penalty area.

In that case, Qin Xiong will be able to play a center diagonal insert with Ibrahimovic, and a straight plug behind him!

Ajax have indeed been reduced from a five-man attack group to a four-man attack group, which obviously reduces the variety of their running and passing combinations, but in this situation, they play the ability to work as a team and work together to create an advantage, which may not be absolutely guaranteed to score, but in this limit of their own height, they are trying their best to destroy the Arsenal defense and try to win!

Arsene Wenger glanced slightly distracted at Qin Xiong, the Chinese player who was constantly running sideways and vertically on the pitch, tearing apart Arsenal's midfield defence.

It is his big-picture vision and individual technical ability that allows Ajax to shoot when they have the opportunity up front.

It can be said that every time he makes a reasonable shot, even if it seems to be useless, but maybe he is paving the way for the next attack, and there is a deep meaning inside.

Arsene Wenger glanced at the game time.

Thirty minutes have passed.

According to the current scoreline, it is getting closer and closer to victory for Arsenal, and Wenger believes that as time goes by, Arsenal's situation will get better and better, because Ajax will definitely panic and be anxious!

At Highbury, Arsenal, on the contrary, didn't play much decent attack.

Patrick Vieira was able to ensure that Arsenal's transition from defence to attack was over-linked between the front and back, and was able to give Arsenal's front-court players the opportunity to deliver the ball at their feet.

However, I have to admit that Bergkamp is old, and his ability to accelerate forward has almost no breakthrough and passing.

Therefore, Ajax's backcourt defenders are very calm, put on a tight formation, when the ball is at the feet of the retreating Bergkamp, they are not in a hurry to grab, if they grab, it will expose the space behind them, and it will also give Bergkamp the opportunity to use the spot to get rid of the technical breakthrough.

If Bergkamp doesn't play the ball in time, his forward speed is already relatively slow, and Qin Xiong can't catch up with Henry when he returns to defense, but it's definitely no problem to chase Bergkamp.

In order to continue the attack, Bergkamp must play the ball, and Ajax, who has a tight combination of double midfielders and four defenders, will not give Pire and Ljungberg the opportunity to break through the inside on the wing, Henry is like Ibrahimovic in the last game, surrounded by all sides, although Henry has a great range of activities, but once he leaves the danger zone of the penalty area to go outside, Ajax also compresses the space of the danger zone and does not give the opponent the opportunity to pass and cut.

If Ashley Cole doesn't assist, it will be difficult for Arsenal's counter-attack to shake Ajax's tight defence.

This led Arsenal to be at home, but as the game went on, the number of shots on goal became less and less than Ajax.

Even if Ajax is a long-range shot from the perimeter, it doesn't look like the success rate will be very high in the way the number of shots on goal is refreshed.

In the 37th minute, Sneijder's shot from the left side of the box hit the top left corner of the Arsenal goal, which was saved by Lehmann after another world-class save.

Highbury's Gunners fans are terrified, and the Arsenal players are nervous.

-yes, are Ajax here for luck?

Dare to bet?

Bet on whether Ajax will be able to blast Arsenal open the net with a world wave in the game?

Arsenal, can you afford to gamble? (To be continued) R580
