Chapter 71. Conceding a goal

For both teams, no one wants to see a lose-lose situation, but the importance of this game has forced them to give it their all.

Relatively speaking, Ajax prefers to be able to make a breakthrough in European competition, so in fact, Ajax is more distracted.

"After the game started, the two teams went back and forth, both wanted to solve the opponent as soon as possible, but unfortunately neither side got a goal, and now the game has entered a stalemate phase of see-saw with each other, I am afraid that this game will become more and more difficult for both sides!"

In fact, the situation on the court may have been a little more serious than Wright had suggested, and as the game became scorching, the movements of both sides gradually began to get a little bigger, and the smell of gunpowder became a little stronger. So anxious that McLaren jumped straight to his feet off the field.

What he was most worried about before the game was the psychological state of the team, and sure enough, the players began to be a little impetuous. As a team with strong attacking power, it is undoubtedly a great waste of their advantage to focus on physical confrontation with opponents, but McClaren has no good solution at the moment, and can only pray that the team will not concede goals before halftime.

McLaren's thoughts are still a little too pessimistic, at least Li Lin on the court doesn't feel that this game has become easier to play.

In just five minutes, he has been brought down three times, and watching the opposing midfielder Skierd who put him down get a yellow card, Li Lin felt a little better.

In the face of the opponent's fierce defense, Li Lin also began to retract his kicks slightly, and protecting himself at this time is the most important thing

In this way, the time of the first half passed bit by bit, and it was not until the 44th minute that Ajax finally found another chance!

Paulson found De Jong in the front court with a long pass in the backfield, De Jong leaned on Skierd to get the ball, because he had already received a yellow card, Skierde, who had just defended very fiercely, could only make some small moves in a place where the referee could not see at this time, but these actions could not prevent De Jong from turning.

In front of De Jong, Sana went back and forth between the two defenders, and next to him, full-back Van Riyin also stepped in at this time.

De Jong makes a pass!

Twente right-back Bluffhead hurriedly followed Van Rijin down, but De Jong's pass was not Van Rijne, but Sana!

The moment Bluffhead ran away, Sana finally had space. At this time, De Jong's pass happened to pass in front of Xana, and Sana took advantage of the situation and picked the ball to the center of the penalty area at the moment when central defender Douglas came up to block!

This time, Borigott jumped high in the box to beat Wisgerhoff and hit the ball!

Did the ball go in?

Frank de Boer watched expectantly, the Ajax players watched expectantly, and the home fans watched expectantly, but the next moment, the countless expectations turned into disappointment, and Mikhailov's brilliant save allowed Borigott to miss the goal.

This attack, thanks to De Jong's wonderful pass, Sana received De Jong's pass and picked the ball to the center of the penalty area, Borigut's header was very powerful, and the angle was also very tricky, but Mikhailov's save this time was very stretched, and the ball was pressed to the ground at the moment when the ball was about to bounce off the ground. Borigut's header was spectacular, but Mikhailov's performance was even more amazing! ”

"In the first half, the two sides ended up with a blank score, let's see how the two managers adjust at halftime!"

In the away dressing room, this time McLaren finally has a chance to talk about these players who are a little fluttering because of the winning streak!

"What's the matter, aren't you guys amazing? Isn't it necessary to score three or four in every game? Yes? What is the score now? ”

McLaren grimaced and glanced around, but no one dared to make eye contact with him.

"I've said for a long time that you have to focus on the game and nothing else at all times. If you look at your opponents, they're younger than you and they're doing well, so why are you able to play well when you're not going well and you're just focusing on physical confrontations? Can anyone tell me why you're doing this? ”

"Tell me, Skilde, I see you're having a lot of fun tackling people on the field, can you tell me that I made you defend like this?"

Skierd's face was a little ugly, with some coaches criticizing his embarrassment in public and others being dissatisfied with his performance.

"Just because of the yellow card you got for a senseless foul, the team almost conceded a goal in the last minute!" McLaren added with some confusion.

"In the second half, give me a lift, focus on the football, you are against Ajax, not the fish belly teams, you can not play however you want! Do you understand! ”

Seizing the opportunity this time, McLaren wants to teach his players a lesson and make it heavier when they say these things again in the future.

This team is no longer the same team that McLaren led to the championship, and he needs to work harder to establish himself in the locker room.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the dressing room at Ajax is not so serious.

"In the first half we didn't play very well, of course, the opponent's fierce defense was a very important factor, but in the second half they will definitely put their attention back to the game, so our strategy at the beginning of the second half is to defend, especially at the beginning of the second half, we have to be vigilant and don't give the opponent a chance!"

Frank de Boer began to remind his disciples of the many points and tactics of the second half.

But sometimes, things always go beyond expectations, as if Frank de Boer reminded his players several times at half-time to be careful of the opposition's sneak attack, but the team still conceded a goal at the beginning of the second half!

At the beginning of the second half, the Twente player kicked off in the center circle, and after the ball was passed back and forth a few times among several people, a long pass suddenly found Shadley in the front court, this time, Shadley did not ink, and directly used the speed to eat Van Rijn raw, but this time Van Riin learned to be smart, and kept the inside line, trying to follow Shadley as closely as possible, so that he could destroy the ball at the first time when the opponent slowed down, but Shadley did not give him this opportunity.

Shadley, who walked along the line of the penalty area to the bottom line, sent a big curling ball to the center of the penalty area, and the right midfielder Tadic appeared in the box at this time, and in the face of Mosanyid's defense, he rubbed a curling ball with his right foot, goalkeeper Vermeer was blocked from view this time, and when he saw the flight path of the ball, it was too late to stop the ball.

1:0!

At the start of the second half, FC Twente took advantage of their advantage on the flanks to catch Ajax off guard, and Van Rijn was once again the opponent's breakthrough.

"At the current Ajax, the position of right-back is indeed their shortcoming, which is not visible in normal times, but when facing stronger opponents, Van Rijne's shortcomings will be exposed in front of the opponent. I have to say that Van der Wiel's move to Paris Saint-Germain is a heavy blow to Ajax in terms of team strength! ”

Not only Wright, but all Ajax fans at this time remembered the Van de Wiel who had guarded the right side of Ajax for three seasons.
