36. The coach asked you to go up and rush

Sitting in midfield, Lonshette may have been the first to feel the change in Sporting Lisbon's tactics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason for this is very simple: because his defender, the captain of Sporting Lisbon, Moutinho, has retreated so deep that he can't rush up to mark at all costs.

Moutinho's blood seemed to have cooled down, and his head was much clearer.

Instead of blindly dribbling the ball towards Ronjut, he began to make more use of his long pass footwork, guiding his wide team-mates to try and break through the Ajax backline.

De Kuhl, the experienced Dutch commentator, was not slow to react either, and he also noticed the change: "Sporting Lisbon finally realised that they couldn't break through the middle! They shifted their fire to the two flanks, hoping to create a threat with the most primitive long pass charge! It's a smart choice! ”

"This is also a helpless choice," commentator Janssen shook his head, "In fact, the Ajax defenders are not afraid of the bottom cross, because Sporting Lisbon's highest front field Postiga is only 1.80 meters, facing the defenders of Ajax without the slightest physical advantage, if Moutinho can break through the middle, they will never choose such an attacking method......"

It was exactly as they said, and after the initial adjustments, the Ajax backline quickly regained stability, with Jannik Jallow at 171, Leedson at 175 and Postiga at 180...... In front of Vertonghen in 189 and Atuba in 191, he couldn't grab the ball at all!

What's more, Ajax's two full-backs are also not vegetarians, and in the vast majority of cases, Sporting Lisbon's full-backs can't even deliver a dangerous cross!

As the clock ticked by, Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt players quickly burned off their energy in the back and forth sprints, but Ajax simply tightened the fence and shrunk back most of their forces, lining up defenders on the flanks and inside and outside the box, allowing the opposition's attacking group to crash directly into a plate.

But football is always full of accidents, and in the 73rd minute, Moutinho hoisted a rather flowing diagonal long ball to the left wing of Ajax!

Left wing-back Bruno Silva slipped on his feet as he turned and chased back, losing his balance and falling to the ground.

And...... He also knocked out Sporting Lisbon striker Ledsen......

The Brazilian-born Leedsen immediately rolled on his legs on the edge of the penalty area, and if it weren't for the crowd in the box, he could have rolled straight into the goal.

"Drop!"

The referee blew the whistle hard, gave Silva a yellow card without saying a word, and awarded Sporting Lisbon a free-kick from outside the box.

"Hey, get that Brazilian up!"

The Italian referee seemed to be in a good mood and even waved at Leedsen, who was playing dead.

Leedson hurriedly got up on his hands and feet, and although he didn't get a penalty, a free kick was much better than nothing......

It was Moutinho's first time in this time that he stepped up front and he stomped the ball under his feet and watched the angle of the goal.

Due to the lack of high points up front, the two centre-backs also trotted in from the back, which delayed a little longer.

Van Basten also took the opportunity to make a substitution, replacing striker Suleimani with a 1.85m midfielder Sim de Jong, who had not performed much, to further strengthen the aerial advantage in the midfield.

"Cut!" De Kuor, who has always been very fond of Van Basten and Ajax, couldn't help but let out a disdainful taunt, "Our great Marco has a 451 squad on his home turf!" Oh, my God! The dignified Ajax actually fielded three defensive midfielders! How he was afraid of the attack of the Portuguese! ”

Not only the commentators, but even the home fans sitting in the stands at the Amsterdam Stadium let out scattered boos.

Dutch fans have been watching attacking football for decades, and suddenly seeing such an iron bucket formation, they really can't get used to it.

Fortunately, the current situation is very favorable for Ajax, and the fans will not really rebel, otherwise their home stadium may really become hell for the side!

Commentator Janssen also shook his head: "Two wings contraction, three defensive midfielders, the real attacking player is only Suarez alone, and the last ten minutes are likely to evolve into Sporting Lisbon's half-court offensive and defensive drills......"

Amid a sparse boo, Chim de Jong quickly burst into his own penalty area and began to participate in the defense of the free-kick.

In the tense atmosphere, none of the Sporting Lisbon players noticed that the player who had just come on the pitch made a small gesture towards another team-mate.

The gesture is subtle and the meaning is very simple.

With the tactical level of "Gundam" 13, he can certainly understand what his teammates mean.

His mood suddenly became hot.

De Jong just blocked his right hand with his left hand, and the index finger of his right hand tapped towards the Sporting Lisbon goal.

"If there is a chance to counterattack, the coach will let you go up and rush!"

He was suddenly looking forward to the next chance to fight back.

Moutinho took a deep breath.

With nearly 75 minutes played, the free-kick was perhaps the easiest time for him.

That damn red-and-white number eight finally stopped wrapping around him like a kraft candy.

He's ready to let go of his fists and kicks!

"Boom!"

Moutinho pumped the ball up!

There was a sudden rumor in front of the forbidden area!

The penalty spot was too far away to shoot directly, so the players on both the defensive and offensive sides were already highly nervous.

Even Van Basten, who was already in his chest, couldn't help but struggle to get up from his seat and clenched his fists slightly.

More than a dozen figures were entangled in the forbidden area, and the physical collisions and small movements between each other never disappeared, and even the air temperature in this area seemed to be a little hotter than in other places.

The football was fast, with a strong in-spin straight into the small penalty area, and Ajax's goalkeeper Stegrenberg was already on the lookout for the big enemy.

"Pretty strong internal rotation!" De Kuer's eyes were like a torch, "Stegrenberg didn't dare to slack off, he rushed out directly!" ”

Yang Sen also looked cautious: "This kind of ball is not easy to catch!" It's easy for the goalkeeper to get off the hook! ”

The football flew into the small penalty area and began to fall!

More than a dozen players huddled together, and the hot air from their mouths and noses made the air in mid-air seem to distort!

A tall figure rises from the crowd!

Stegrenberg rushed out!

At 1.94 meters, he is the tallest player among the 22 players on the field, and with two long arms, the Lisbon players in their early 1.80s can't reach the ball at all!

"Bang!"

The Ajax goalkeeper, who was not sure to hold on to it, chose the safest thing to do: he hit the falling ball hard with both fists!

"Good!"

Van Basten let go of his fist and let out a slight sigh.

Because he saw the football fall to the feet of De Jong, who had just come on the field.

The danger has been eliminated!

"Fight back!"

De Jong yelled, and at the same time slammed the ball and turned around!

Then he picked up his right foot and slammed it into the ball!

A white arc pierced the sky!

A fiery wind swept over the turf!

The Amsterdam Stadium erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers since the start of the game!

The red-and-white No. 8 player has already rushed up!

Van Basten asked me to go up and rush?

Then rush!
