Compared with Ajax, whose average age is less than 25 years old, Manchester United is actually not very old, and today's starting lineup, except for Matic and Ozil, who were born in 1988, are all born in the 90s.

Among them, Kroos, who was born in 1990, is already a veteran in this Manchester United team.

However, the maturity of the two teams, where the average age difference in the starting lineup is only about one year old, is very different.

Compared with the Red Devils who have won the Champions League, Premier League, Club World Cup and other heavyweight titles, Ajax's players are like hairy boys, with enough impact but average control.

After the start of the second half, the two teams were still deadlocked, and Manchester United was still attacking Ajax with all sides, but Ajax's continuous passing in the first half was gone, but there were many more solitary battles, basically as long as they could get the ball, they would come to shoot.

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag sat in the dugout with a tight frown, and while he wasn't sure what Mourinho was up to, it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Anthony Martial watched Donny van de Beek lunge towards him, pushed the ball to Suso, and then turned around Van de Beek.

As soon as he got past Donny van de Beek in front of the box, Suso's pass from the other side was in front of him.

Without hesitation, a reactionary kick was volleyed, and the ball flew towards the goal with a violent spin.

"People who are optimistic about themselves, don't let them shoot easily, what are they running blindly?"

In a hurry, he knocked the football out of the bottom line with both fists, Onana shook his hand and yelled at his teammates, and in just over ten minutes after the game continued, he had defused no less than 3 shots from the opponent in the range of the goal frame.

Shaking his hands, which were already a little numb, Onana's eyes darkened with concern. Although it has not been broken yet, it may not work to continue to be scared like this.

When the Ajax players heard their goalkeeper's yell, they all consciously blocked the opponent's shot, and even rushed forward when the opponent just got the ball, but the consequence of this ferocious performance was that the fouls in dangerous positions instantly increased.

Just when Onana was in the middle of his nerves, United were awarded a well-placed free-kick on the right side of the box.

"Daley, a little further to the left, okay! OK！ ”

"Joel, get the guy next to you, don't lose your place......" shouted to his teammates, and after Onana was set, he came to the far corner of the goal, clapped his hands, and then bent down, his eyes staring at the small soccer ball on the grass through the gap in the wall.

Dai Zhiwei and Kroos, the two best free-kick players in the Manchester United team, stood in front of the football, and watched Onana still anxiously adjust the human wall there, Dai Zhiwei suddenly grinned.

The range of action was not large, so even Wiltman, who was at the front of the wall, did not see it clearly, but the fans in front of the TV noticed this expression through the high-definition cameras.

"It's over, it's over, Dai Zhiwei is definitely going to hit the door directly!" It is easy for Ajax fans in front of the TV to make this judgment, because only in this way will Dai Zhiwei feel that Onana's repeated adjustment of the human wall is so ridiculous.

When will the wall be able to block Dai Zhiwei's free kick?

Unfortunately, no matter how much the Ajax fans in front of the TV shouted, their reminders could not reach Onana's ears.

After the referee's whistle, Kroos quickly ran towards the football, and at the same time as Suso ran over, Dai Zhiwei, who was standing on the other side of the football, also ran over, and the two ran towards the football at the same time.

Two players with opposite feet ran towards the football at the same time, making Onana hesitate in his judgment, and before he could determine which side to pounce on, Dai Zhiwei suddenly accelerated, catching up with Kroos who ran first, turning his body, twisting his waist hard, and swinging his right foot hard, and pulling towards the football with a tense instep.

"Bang!"

The ball spun rapidly, sizzling in the air towards the near corner of the goal.

Seeing the football suddenly coming from the human wall, Onana suddenly reflected, kicked his legs hard, stretched his body, and pounced towards the football with open arms, but the ball speed was too fast, even if he had exhausted all his strength, the football was still more than ten centimeters away from him.

"Bang!" There was a soft sound, and then Onana, who fell to the ground, heard a huge cheer from the home fans, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to find that the goal was empty.

Didn't score?

Onana's mood immediately brightened.

But the Manchester United players in the box are already starting to celebrate?

At this time, the slow-motion replay finally answered Onana's doubts: Dai Zhiwei's free kick just now hit the inside of the goal frame, then bounced into the goal line, and finally bounced back.

Although football did not stop in the fans, although the Champions League has not started video refereeing this season, the place where the football fell is at least 40 centimeters behind the goal line, as long as you are not blind and do not gamble, anyone can make the right decision!

1:0, Manchester United leads!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！ Dai Zhiwei! A wonderful free kick goal! After David Beckham, we finally have the god of free kicks! As the snow-white net was lifted high, the on-site commentator at Old Trafford, who had been depressed for more than 60 minutes, suddenly burst into an astonishing rage, and shouted loudly.

"Boom!" Before the commentator could finish speaking, there were many more Manchester United fans in the stands and outside the stadium, in front of the TV in the bar or at home, and the cheers that shook the whole city.

All of a sudden, shouts, shouts, and sighs converged into an unstoppable torrent, circling and roaring towards the sky!

There was a sudden rush in his ears, and Dai Zhiwei knew that the football had finally entered.

He was just about to turn around and run towards the stands, but before he could catch his breath, suddenly one after another, all his teammates pressed over, and there was darkness in front of him.

Dai Zhiwei felt that he was about to suffocate, but the shouts of his teammates who were full of joy and venting in the chaos made his heart instantly filled with joy.

"Dai Zhiwei! Dai Zhiwei! Dai Zhiwei! A shout rang out from the stands.

Onana raised his hand in annoyance and quickly rubbed it on his face, feeling very depressed.

Erik ten Hag, who was standing on the sidelines, was also a little depressed, his team still paid the price for their lack of experience, and the previous foul on Manchester United's free-kick was unnecessary.

But that's the price of growth.

Shaking his head, Erik ten Hag threw the frustrating thought away.

Dai Zhiwei opened the scoring to break the deadlock for Manchester United, and the game was completely integrated into the rhythm of the Red Devils.

"Whew!"

With his hands on his knees, De Ligt felt a heat squeeze out of his lungs, then spurted out of his throat down his trachea, large drops of sweat running from his eyebrows to his eyes, twisting his neck and rubbing against his shoulders.

From the very beginning of the game, he was responsible for marking Dai Zhiwei, which caused him to lose his stamina sharply.

The only consolation is that his performance so far is still remarkable, although Dai Zhiwei scored a goal, but it was a direct free-kick, at least so far, Dai Zhiwei has not been able to take points from De Ligt in the athletic battle.

Taking a deep breath, a complacent De Ligt got up and ran back, Manchester United's attack could soon be on the way again.

The ball fell quickly in the air, and Schöne and Ozil were fighting back and forth for a more advantageous position, pulling their opponents' clothes in their hands while constantly judging where the ball would land.

When the ball landed on top of the two of them, both sides jumped up at the same time, risking a collision and at the same time headed towards the ball.

With a "bang", the two of them hit the football at the same time, and the football jumped up again and flew towards Kroos, who ran to the side.

Kroos thrust his chest, stopped the ball, and then made a direct pass, and the ball rolled towards Dai Zhiwei, who was running back.

Dai Zhiwei pointed his toes to the football, and quickly turned one hundred and eighty degrees in place.

With a somewhat Marseille maneuver to shake off the snatching Van de Beek, Dai Zhiwei sprinted towards the opponent's hinterland again with the football.

Suso and Anthony Martial cut in from both flanks at the same time, and the United trident was on the way towards the Ajax penalty area.

Swinging his legs quickly, facing the well-layered defense of the Ajax backline, Dai Zhiwei played well in this game, except for the free-kick that opened the scoring, so his desire to score again was particularly strong.

Looking at De Ligt and the others in front of him with a wary expression, Dai Zhiwei knew that it was very difficult to score through a breakthrough, should he challenge it?

Don't talk nonsense, just do it!

Facing De Ligt, Dai Zhiwei's feet kept sliding quickly on the football, his shoulders shook sharply, and the continuous "cycling" made De Ligt on the opposite side dizzy for a while, and he couldn't stop retreating backwards.

This place has reached dangerous territory, and a foul will give United a free kick that is almost as dangerous as the last time.

Fearing a foul, De Ligt could only reluctantly and slowly retreat.

Seeing De Ligt's passive situation, Blind on the side finally couldn't help but run over, hoping to snatch the ball at Dai Zhiwei's feet through the bag.

However, Blind's movement had already been noticed by Dai Zhiwei, and when he first came to the two, Dai Zhiwei suddenly moved.

Dai Zhiwei's left foot slid over the football, and he quickly lifted it up on the turf, and stabbed hard at the bottom of the football, and the ball rolled between De Ligt's legs into the penalty area.

Suso on the left also kicked in, bypassing the unresponsive Wiltman, rushing into the box and chasing the fast-rolling football.

Suso was joined by Anthony Martial, who had been waiting for a long time.

Coming to the front of the football, without any pause, Suso raised his left foot and pumped it hard, and the football appeared in front of the Ajax goal in an instant.

Facing the fast-flying football, Martial stepped in front of Tagliafico, who was defending him, kicked his legs, and suddenly jumped to the top, and his body flew in mid-air towards the football.

In mid-air, Martial felt a strong force coming from his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel happy, and his top was very positive.

The ball refracted at Anthony Martial's head and quickly drilled towards the goal.

Onana didn't expect Suso to choose a cross when he had a chance to shoot, and he was just stabilizing his center of gravity and ready to make a move, but now he had to make a save in the opposite direction.

By the time Anthony Martial pushed the ball towards goal, Onana, who had lost his centre of gravity, was already sitting on the ground.

2:0！

Anthony Martial's 79th-minute goal completely killed the suspense of the game.

Erik ten Hag also shook his head slightly, in front of the veteran Manchester United striker trident, Ajax's backline still seems too immature!

However, Erik ten Hag was not deterred by being two goals down and replaced Schöne and Ziyech with defender Mazraoui and veteran Huntelaar before resuming the game.

Mazraoui was brought on to solidify the defence and avoid being completely crushed by United in the final minutes. Replacing Huntelaar is hoping to have one more way and one more option when attacking in the front court.

After seeing Erik ten Hag's rather prudent deployment of troops, Mourinho also extinguished the idea of completely winning the opponent in the first leg, replacing Suso with Herrera to increase the hardness of the midfield.

After the last five minutes of the game, the youngsters Pereira and McTominay were asked to experience the big stage of the Champions League semi-finals and consume the little time left.

In the final 10 minutes, Ajax did not give up.

In the 85th minute, Ajax attacked, Neres cut the ball, and after a continuous transition in the middle, Huntelaar sent a straight stopper, Ricardo Pere stretched his leg and did not succeed in destroying, Van de Beek received the ball and fully adjusted his powerful volley!

Had it not been for David De Gea's prowess in front of goal, Ajax would have been able to walk away from Old Trafford.

Manchester United did not give up the idea of extending the score, three minutes later, Kroos diagonally into the left side of the penalty area, Martial cut in an inverted triangle cross at high speed, Dai Zhiwei's razor-fired shot from the edge of the box went around Wiltman but hit the post and popped up!

Tai Zhiwei, who missed the chance to open the scoring, was subsequently replaced by Scott McTominay.

In the end, Manchester United told the young Ajax and the defending champions the difference in strength with a score of 2:0 in the Champions League semi-finals - you are worth looking forward to in the future, but the glory of the present still belongs to us.

The 2-0 score also laid a solid foundation for Manchester United to advance to the final in Madrid. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Green Wings Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
