Chapter 480: Stacking Arhats
In the rest of the first half, both sides did not achieve anything, the Ajax team entered the break with a score of 1-0, Ajax fans are obviously more satisfied with the score, they sang enthusiastically, danced, shouted the names of the players on the field, and shouted the most is the name of Ding Hongxing, Ding Hongxing can be called the best player in the Ajax team in the first half, he not only completely froze the arrow of the Eindhoven team, Ronaldo, but also planned the goals of the Ajax team, He also sent a number of threatening long balls, and apart from not scoring, his first half was perfect.
Of course, only Ajax fans would expect their centre-backs to score goals, and only Ding Hongxing, Ajax's centre-back, has the ability to compete with top strikers like Ronaldo for the top scorer.
Before entering the locker room, Ding Hongxing waved to the fans who shouted his name in the stadium, of course, he also saw Liao Minghua and his members of the fan club, they now have a fixed stand, they must come every time at home, and they often go away, they have now become Ding Hongxing's most loyal fans.
Entering the dressing room, Van Gaal praised the performance of the players in the first half, in fact, the sequelae of the players' winter break have not been completely eliminated, except for Ding Hongxing, Overmars, Kluivert and other players are in good shape, the other players have not fully recovered, otherwise, they would not have led by only one goal in the first half.
After praising the players, Van Gaal asked the players to stick to the style of play in the first half, and specially told Ding Hongxing to let him mark Ronaldo more closely in the second half, don't relax, although he defended well in the first half, but a striker of Ronaldo's level, as long as you relax a little, he may seize this second of slackness and make you pay.
Of course, Ding Hongxing also understands this truth, so in the first half, he basically did not step forward except for using long passes to dispatch his own attack, and he had to focus most of his energy on Ronaldo's defense.
The second half of the game began, Ronaldo obviously had some changes, his range of activities increased, often retreated to the midfield to get the ball, and even pulled to two wings to get the ball, and the other players of Eindhoven were obviously prepared, they skillfully exchanged positions with Ronaldo, obviously, Ronaldo is to pull the defense of the Ajax team, if Ding Hongxing follows Ronaldo closely, it is likely to confuse Ajax's backline girls, and Ding Hongxing If he does not follow Ronaldo closely, Ronaldo will be given more space to possess the ball, and a player of his calibre will be a great threat when he can get the ball anywhere up front.
And Neelis is more forward into the penalty area, although he is used to the position of nine and a half, but this definitely does not mean that he can't score, in fact, in real history, although Ronaldo got the top scorer in the Eredivisie this season, Nielis is relatively behind, but he also scored more than a dozen league goals, he scored more goals after Ronaldo's transfer to Eindhoven, he played for Eindhoven in more than 130 games, scored more than 110 goals, and the goal rate is also quite high.
It should be said that Eindhoven's change is still good, but Ajax has already responded, Ding Hongxing still follows Ronaldo closely, and the position of the rest remains the same, Rijkaard and Davies swept back and forth in the midfield, intercepting each other's passes, and Blind was staring at Neelis in the penalty area, and Eindhoven's attack still had no progress.
To be honest, this season, in addition to Ronaldo and Neelis, Eindhoven's offensive line is lackluster, the two of them have accounted for most of the team's goals and assists, their offensive means are mainly that Neelis retreats to a more backward place to connect the midfield and give Ronaldo a chance to create a zĂ o, and now Nelis is in the penalty area, they lack a connecting hub in the midfield, and they lose their creation power, and their attack suddenly becomes a little constipated.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the second half of the game, Ding Hongxing stretched out his foot to intercept the opponent's pass to Ronaldo, and immediately sent a sharp through ball, the ball rolled forward quickly against the turf, Kluivert understood the forward, he was about to form a single knife after getting the ball, Eindhoven's central defender reached out helplessly and pulled him down, he got a yellow card, and Ajax got a free kick 278 meters from the goal.
Ding Hongxing, as the first free taker of the Ajax team, walked to the foul site, and the fans in the stands became excited, and they shouted Ding Hongxing's name, hoping that he could score the free kick.
The TV commentator also said excitedly: "This is a good opportunity, this free kick is more positive, of course, a little far from the goal, can Ding Hongxing score?" In the nine games he has played in this season, he has scored four of the ten direct free-kicks on goal, which is quite high, and it can be said that he is one of the best free-kick takers in the world, so this goal is not without the possibility of scoring. He started running, he shot, the ball went in!!!! Let's take a look at the slow motion, it was a beautiful goal, the ball drew a perfect arc, the goalkeeper judged accurately and reacted quickly, but his fingers were a little shorter, the ball skimmed his fingers, hit the post and bounced into the net, which is a dead end in the absolute sense of the word! This is also Ding Hongxing's fifteenth goal in the league, just one goal away from Ronaldo, and he has scored fifteen goals in nine games, which is incredible! You know, he's not a striker! â
Just when Ding Hongxing scored this free kick, there were huge cheers in the Amsterdam Olympic Stadium, the fans shouted Ding Hongxing's name, excitedly raised their arms and shouted, Ding Hongxing ran to the stands where Liao Minghua was, and expressed his gratitude to these fans who have always supported him.
And Ding Hongxing's teammates also came to celebrate the goal with him, and the one who ran at the front was Frank. De Boer, the former Ajax chief free-kicker, was smiling all over his face at the moment and congratulating Ding, while Seedorf and Davies celebrated in a much more direct way, knocking Ding Hongxing down, pressing him down on the turf and stacking Rohan.
