After the restart, AZ Alkmaar stepped up their attack visibly, after all, they were the side behind the scoreline.
Chen Fan seemed to have tasted the sweetness of the previous goal and continued to chase the football with all his strength, this time without AZ Alkmaar players mocking him.
The rest of Ajax's midfielders continued to cut off the ball's passing lanes and AZ Alkmaar's attack became difficult.
Van Gaal, who was standing in the command area, had an ugly face.
The attack was not good, but Alkmaar defended well, especially when Ajax played a quick counter-attack, and they had a whole set of countermeasures.
First of all, after losing the ball in the midfield, the player closest to the ball immediately blocks and presses to prevent the player with the ball from quickly moving the ball to the frontcourt.
Secondly, when the opposing player quickly moves the football to the front court, in the case of a fruitless scramble, he decisively commits a foul.
The attacks of both sides were bogged down, and the scene was stalemate. Players on both sides showed rare patience and they knew how to give each other a chance as soon as they got impatient.
The game went into a stalemate, with neither side being able to create a good chance to score.
Louis van Gaal immediately made an adjustment, and he issued a new command - to abandon the midfield when attacking, and the defenders went straight to the forwards!
In the 34th minute of the first half, AZ Alkmaar suddenly accelerated the pace of attack, no longer entangled with Ajax in the midfield, and kicked the football to the front with a big foot in the backfield.
After Ai Xiandao took the ball, he cooperated with Dibili on the left side, tearing apart the Ajax defense in one fell swoop, Dibili crossed the middle, and the forward AndrΓ©s met the ball and shot angrily, and the football went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Stekelenburg made a brave save and struggled to get the ball off the line!
Three minutes later, AZ Alkmaar launched a quick counter-attack from the back again, and after striker Dibili won the ball, he broke through Vinat and fired a powerful shot on the penalty line!
The soccer ball flies towards the right side of the goal!
St. Kelenberg leaped and touched the soccer ball with the tip of his left finger!
The ball changed direction slightly and continued to move forward, flying over the goal line and into the net in an instant!
The ball is in!
The score becomes 1 to 1!
AZ Alkmaar, who played away, equalised!
Away fans from afar turned the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium into a sea of joy, and the Ajax fans looked serious.
Van Gaal shook his fist excitedly, and Basten rubbed his brow in pain......
Dutch national television commentator Adar exclaimed: "When the two sides were deadlocked, Van Gaal took the lead in making adjustments, abandoning the midfield in attack and going straight to the striker from the defender, and this tactical adjustment paid off, and Dibili's goal helped AZ Alkmaar equalise!" β
Gullidt nodded: "AZ Alkmaar made a change and scored goals, will Ajax make the same change? β
There was a lot of discussion among reporters on the sidelines, and someone said: "From the perspective of coaching experience, Van Gaal is indeed better than Basten. β
A journalist from the AZ Alkmaar region put it very simply: "Coaching experience? Van Gaal's level is already higher than Basten's! β
Louis van Gaal is undoubtedly one of the most famous managers in the Netherlands, and the Amsterdam area journalists are speechless against it.
And now the facts are in front of us, Van Gaal made adjustments in the stalemate and scored goals, while Basten did nothing.
Even the reason for the stalemate between the two sides before was that the players on the field took the initiative to make changes, not from Basten's tactical adjustments.
When the game restarted, Basten reminded the defenders to pay attention to the opponent's long passes from the back, and asked the front court to counter-attack immediately after losing the ball.
AZ Alkmaar's long balls at the back plummeted, and the pressure on Ajax's back line plummeted, leaving the pitch at a stalemate once again.
The Amsterdam regional reporter was visibly relieved that Basten's coaching experience could not be compared to that of Louis van Gaal, at least the on-the-spot command was not a mess.
Time flies, and the shouts of the fans on both sides are getting louder and louder, and their teams need their support.
A reporter on the sidelines said: "It's one to one, and neither side can break the deadlock......
Someone agreed: "yes, neither side has the kind of top player who can upset the balance on their own......"
Adal said: "If nothing else, the first half will end with a score of 1-1. β
Gurlitt pondered for a moment and then said, "Maybe there will be an accident......"
Adar wondered in his heart: Accident? Who can cause accidents? Is AZ Alkmaar's powerful striker Dibili? Or is it someone else?
Seeing that the first half is about to end, the situation on the pitch has changed!
In the 44th minute of the first half, Ajax's attack failed, AZ Alkmaar launched a quick counterattack, and defender Schworth kicked the football forward with a big foot.
Venat leaps high and pushes the ball back near the center circle.
After some scramble, Ajax scrambled the ball down and Alida attacked from the middle.
Alida connected the opponent's two defenders, hit the opponent's hinterland, and then made a diagonal pass, and the football flew towards Chen Fan!
Prepared centre-back Schwarth stepped forward and cut off the ball halfway through.
"Boom! β¦β¦β
There was a huge cry of regret from the home fans, and the attack was once again blocked.
"Good shot! β¦β¦β
The away fans applauded loudly and it was a brilliant tackle.
Chen Fan quickly suppressed the disappointment in his heart and pounced towards Swarth, who was holding the ball.
"There's a ghost in the back!"
A voice was reminding Sworth to hurry up and handle the ball.
Seeing Chen Fan stepping forward to grab, Alida also quickly started and pounced on Swarth.
On the one hand, he didn't let Sworth comfortably deliver cannonballs to the frontcourt, and on the other hand, he hoped to be able to sandwich Chen Fan back and forth and steal the football.
Seeing that Alida's long ball was blocked, Schwarth hurriedly made a short pass, and the ball flew towards Lujis, the midfielder on his right.
At this moment, a red and white figure descended from the sky like a divine soldier, killing from Lujis, and directly passed with one kick!
Chen Fan stretched out his right foot, pulled the football back, and turned around!
This was an unexpected situation, and the AZ Alkmaar defense line did not have time to adjust at all, and Chen Fan immediately began to accelerate after turning around.
Like a lightning speed, Chen Fan left the runway like an F1 chariot!
The AZ Alkmaar defence is in disarray!
The opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again, Chen Fan quickly approached the opponent's penalty area.
AZ Alkmaar centre-back Ragnaar chased after him desperately, holding the middle to prevent Chen Fan from dribbling to the middle, and waiting for the opportunity to steal and destroy.
Chen Fan kept observing the positions of other players on the way forward with the ball, and he suddenly made a sudden stop, and Ragnar didn't have time to stop his steps, flashing past Chen Fan's right side!
Golden opportunity!
Chen Fan immediately kicked a sideways pass!
Alida, who was quickly plugged in in the middle of the lane, stretched out her right foot, stopped the football at her feet, and then raised her right leg!
Unguarded, he wants to shoot!
"Smack! β¦β¦β
Alida's right instep kicked the ball hard, and the ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Alkmaar goalkeeper Barjuan. Sergi jumped, he was going to save!
The stadium fell silent in an instant!
