Chapter 229 Steadily entered the top sixteen

Vardy !! Jamie Vardy scored a goal!! It's an amazing striker, and it's hard to imagine that just two years ago, this piece of jade was playing in the amateur league!! Mr. Lightkinson almost jumped up from the commentary seat.

"Look at his amazing performances in the Europa League!! He opened the scoring for Luton Town again!! 1 to 0!! The aggregate score became four to one!!! It's so beautiful!!! ”

Accompanied by the roars of the commentators in the commentary booth, the fans of Luton also jumped from their seats!

The Wards stadium was shaking, and the whole of Luton seemed to be in a frenzy.

Outside the stadium, there were plenty of fans who couldn't get tickets to get in, beer spilled into the air, and all the Luton fans cheered for the moment.

And for Ajax, this moment is undoubtedly a moment of despair.

The aggregate score is four to one.... That means Ajax will have to score three goals in a row away from home to level on aggregate.

But if you think about the bright side, maybe the Ajax fans wouldn't be so desperate – they had to score three goals to do it.

Martin Yorke roared from the sidelines, unhappy with the defensive behaviour of Ajax's backline.

Especially Oleg, who is responsible for marking Vardy, Oleg was completely thrown away by Vardy, and Vardy just made Oleg lose his defense against Vardy with two simple consecutive changes of direction and run, allowing Vardy to easily get a chance to head in the penalty area!

Oleg is actually very aggrieved, Vardy is too good at drilling, and letting him stare at Vardy alone is really a little powerless, and in which area, Vertonghen was also taken away by Jeffrey.

Luton's corner was a well-planned affair that looked into everything, with three tall centre-backs up front attracting attention and Jamie Vardy slotting the killer at the back post!!

The balance of the game was upset, and for Ajax, the form has become more severe, so they can only continue to press and attack after the game resumes.

Fortunately, for Ajax, it may not be easy for Luton to play a decent counterattack next, in the case of only Vardy one point in the front, Ajax has strengthened the defense of Vardy, even if Luton successfully breaks the ball, it is difficult to launch a counterattack immediately.

So the first half became a half-time offensive and defensive drill for Ajax.

But what can Ajax do against Luton's defence?

Suarez is very active, his range of activities is very large, Suarez can always be seen in the front court, two wings, the front of the penalty area, Suarez can always be seen receiving and passing.

But in the most crucial area, in the middle of the box, Suarez had no chance to receive the ball at all.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Suarez wanted to try to catch the ball and go it alone, but before he could push into the penalty area, the football was tackled by N'Golo Kante.

In the face of the opponent's most threatening player, Gao Bo also sent his most powerful interceptor to defend him, Kante always paid attention to Suarez's position, when he appeared in the penalty area, Kante's main role was to block the line of the front court to Suarez, and when Suarez came out of the box, Kante pasted, the purpose is to completely limit the Uruguayan striker.

Ajax's attack was ineffective, they had a lot of possession, but one thing that embarrassed the Dutch media in the stands was that it had been more than 20 minutes since the game was played, and Ajax had not had a single shot on target!

'Ajax had the ball, but why couldn't they even make a threat?' Linson has recently fallen in love with watching Barcelona games, and in fact Barcelona's football tactics were developed out of Dutch football.

Ajax also have a lot of possession at the moment and they are also actively trying to pass the ball forward and try to attack.

But they didn't get the ball into the box at all and they looked helpless against a Luton defence.

'Because Suarez lacks two players who can pass the ball to him.' Gao Bo shook his head and said, "If Ajax had Xavi and Iniesta in the squad, I wouldn't have chosen to stick to it at all, because these two players are always keen to find fleeting gaps, and players like Suarez can always appear in the most dangerous areas." ”

Eriksen is a good striker, but where can Eriksen, who is now eighteen or nineteen years old, catch up with Xavi and Xiaobai, who are now in their prime.

Although Suarez's strength has not yet reached its peak, Suarez's style of play is now approaching maturity, Ajax has a powerful machine gun, but they lack an ammunition player who can provide ammunition for the machine gun - in fact, even the person who pulls the trigger of the machine gun cannot be found on Ajax's side.

So it is not surprising that Gao Bo is not surprised that the situation is like this now.

Dense defending is not easy to break down, attacking dense defending is a world-class problem, and it is the same for any team.

In the first half, the two sides did not achieve anything, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 1-0.

Gao Bo did not plan to adjust the team's formation and tactics at halftime, and the current situation is too favorable for the team to adjust the risk.

Martin York, on the other hand, made a substitution at the start of the second half.

Pantrich came on and he was replaced by midfielder De Zeu.

When there is no other way, the only thing Martin York can think of is piling up strikers in the box.

Since there are so many people in the opponent's penalty area, I also arrange more people in the penalty area, which is a very conventional idea.

However, dense defense is not simply a dense penalty area defense.

Pantrich is not a high striker either, in fact, Ajax not only lack talented midfielders - Sneijder had already left the previous season, and since then Ajax's academy has not found a talented midfielder comparable to Sneijder, and now in the center of the position, they do not have a reserve of one or two high school strikers.

The forward passes in positional battles were unimaginative, and there was no space to answer the crosses in the middle.

The game continued to be deadlocked as it was in the first half.

In the 65th minute, Martin York looked unable to take the situation any longer, with the first of several Ajax crosses being tipped over by Luton.

So under the command of Martin York, Alderweireld was at the front.

The centre-back's height and header are good, so he is used as a centre-forward by Martin York.

This trick really achieved some results.

Alderweireld grabbed a header from inside the box and then his header was saved by Schmeichel.

It was probably the closest Ajax ever came to scoring in the game.

In the following game, Ajax began to think about the common sense of crosses, although the success rate was relatively low, but it seemed that their attack finally played some momentum.

The game passed minute by minute, and until the 80th minute of the game, the score on the field remained unchanged.

'Ajax is running out of time, the game is about ten minutes to go, in that time they have to score three goals, and against a defence like Luton's, it's almost impossible!!!'

Ajax is really running out of time.

From the 80th minute of the game, Gao Bo began to make substitutions.

He brought on two midfielders and then brought on Jamie Vardy as well, and with those three substitutions, the regular time of the game was almost over.

The three minutes of stoppage time didn't happen any miracles either!

When Suarez's shot from outside the box was picked up by Schmeichel, the referee blew three whistles to blow the whistle for the end of the game!
