Chapter 523: Quite unreasonable
Although Capello has a sense of foreboding, there is nothing he can do right now, and he has no better centre-backs at hand than Baresi and Costacuta.
He only hopes now that Ding Hongxing is not so comfortable playing as a central defender.
But Capello was soon disappointed, Ding Hongxing was like a player who has been playing as a center forward, his movement was very good, and physical confrontation was his strong point, and he was also very good at heading, as soon as he pushed forward, he posed a huge threat to AC Milan's goal.
In fact, Capello's preparation for this game is not insufficient, and he has corresponding methods to resolve Ajax's attacking methods, even if the side is dominated by Ajax, but the situation that there is no excellent center forward in the Ajax penalty area has also been thought of by Capello, so this flaw is not too fatal, Ajax so far, there is no threatening shot, which proves the success of Capello's tactics, but now Ding Hongxing suddenly played the center, which made Capello a little dazed.
Ding Hongxing is tall and strong, excellent confrontation ability, he is young, good body, it is impossible for either Baresi and Costa Kota to keep an eye on him, he gave full play to his physical advantages in the penalty area, basically all the crosses, he can grab the first drop point, even if Baresi and Costa Kuta defend him, one competes with him, and the other tops Ding Hongxing below, using small movements to prevent Ding Hongxing from fully jumping, he still can't compete with Ding Hongxing.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, AC Milan was in danger in front of goal, after a header by Ding Hongxing, Litemanen, who followed in the middle, was saved by Rossi, Capello couldn't sit still, and he made an adjustment to let the defender Desailly also return to the penalty area and act as a central defender to mark Ding Hongxing.
In this way, AC Milan's formation has become a five-three-two, they have become a back five, Desailly is a full-time marker for Ding Hongxing, Costacuta assists, and Baresi has become a scavenger, responsible for picking up gaps, so that their defense in the box is more solid.
Desailly was originally born as a central defender, but after he came to AC Milan, Capello transformed him into a midfielder, although Desailly also played well in the position of the midfielder, but he himself still prefers to play central defender, he is also tall, excellent confrontation, although strength, bounce, speed is not as good as Ding Hongxing, but with a Costacuta assist, it is almost the same.
Desailly came back only to ease the crisis a little, and the pressure on AC Milan from Ajax was still very high, leaving them with little respite.
Overmars and Finity. George still used their blistering speed to attack both AC Milan wings, and behind them, Frank Brown. De Boer and Reziger also provided occasional support to help them attract defence, which gave them the complete upper hand on the flanks, but they are both young anyway and they can't afford to lose compared to Maldini and Panucci in terms of speed and fitness.
Ding Hongxing in the middle of the confrontation in the penalty area is also hard-hitting, every time he scrambles for the header, it is accompanied by a physical collision with Desailly or Costacuta, anyway, in the physical confrontation, he has the upper hand.
And Litmanen and Seedorf are following behind Ding Hongxing, waiting for an opportunity to fight for the second landing point on Ding Hongxing's top. △≧△≧
This style of play is a bit unreasonable, but it is also very effective in this game, against an experienced team like AC Milan, there is no need for such a direct and unreasonable style of play, but instead to fight with them for experience and internal strength? That's stupid.
In the twenty-eighth minute of the second half, Ajax's persistent offensive finally had an effect, Davies cut off Boban's pass to Savicevic in the backfield, he immediately passed the ball to Rijkaard, Rijkaard had seen the situation in the front court clearly when he received the ball, he made a long pass, passed the ball to the left side of the front, Overmars had already begun to step forward at the moment Rijkaard received the ball, and when Rijkaard passed, he just surpassed AC Milan's right-back Panucci, And he raised his speed to the highest.
Although Panucci is one of the best right-backs of this era, but pure speed, he still has a gap with Overmars, he reacted quickly and turned to chase back, but it was impossible to catch up, Overmars ran an arc, bypassed Panucci, caught up with the ball, he looked at the situation in the penalty area, and passed a beautiful cross with his left foot, the ball drew a wonderful external rotation arc, and flew to the middle of the penalty area.
Ding Hongxing rushed from the line of the big penalty area to the small penalty area, Desailly kept pulling the corner of his clothes, followed him to the small penalty area, Costa Kuta was also assisting Desailly to pinch Ding Hongxing, but Ding Hongxing's speed did not slow down at all, he rushed to the vicinity of the small penalty area, and jumped high, Desailly also jumped up, but his bounce and strength are still not comparable to Ding Hongxing, Ding Hongxing knocked Desailly away in the air, grabbed the landing point, and a Taishan top-style header attacked, smashed the ball into the top left corner of the goal, although Rossi had tried his best to jump and save, but the ball was too fast, and when his palm was still half a meter away from the ball, the ball had already entered the net.
Every Ajax cross would have the 20,000 Ajax fans in front of them stand up, they were ready to cheer for the team's goal, but every time they had been disappointed by the result of the cross, but this time they still got used to standing up, and when the ball went into the net, they finally broke out into an earth-shattering cheer.
Ajax fans chanted Ding Hongxing's name, and many fans have begun to pay homage to him, and this season, as long as the Ajax team needs to score the most, Ding Hongxing will never let them down.
Lin Yaozu and others, who were sitting in the Ajax fan stands, also cheered, they were also fans, so they blended into this warm atmosphere very lightly, but Ding Yuejin and a few girls were not very used to such a warm celebration, tens of thousands of fans chanted Ding Hongxing's name, which made them a little surprised, but they were also very happy, especially Shen Shuzhen and Lu Chaohui, the pride in their hearts is indescribable, Ding Hongxing is their dearest person, his glory is their glory, that is, their glory.
