Chapter 180. Half the tactic!
Ajax were indeed caught off guard by the sudden pressure from their opponents.
After the start of this game, Utrecht almost did not organize a decent attack, and now the whole Ajax team is eager to score goals and rush forward, without thinking about whether any opponent will suddenly attack. So in the face of Utrecht's sudden counteroffensive, there was a sudden rush.
Zulo, the Utrecht striker who has been holding back for a whole game, quickly passed through the midfield with the ball after Ajax's attack failed again, and in front of him, the two strikers had already rushed in front at this time, and next to them, there were some embarrassed Ajax players chasing back.
Zulo looked up to observe the position of his teammates, and just as he was still thinking about how to pass the ball, a foot stabbed him from behind, and subconsciously, Zulo distributed the ball to the side, and the next moment, Paulsen directly pushed him to the ground.
Will a foul be awarded?
The Ajax players are hoping that the referee will blow the whistle so that the opponent's counter-attack will be fruitless.
But the referee didn't mean to blow the whistle, raised his hands forward, signaled that the attack was favorable, and the game continued!
After getting the ball, Boltuiz on the wing continued to cut forward quickly, and Van Rey, who was on this side, did not have time to return to his defensive position.
"Suddenly, the situation on the field changed, Utrecht, who had been defending for 60 minutes in this game, suddenly attacked, and suddenly hit Ajax by surprise, and now Utrecht's counterattack is still advancing rapidly, and Ajax's defenders are not as many offensive players as the opponent at this time!"
Fullback Burtuis rushed up with a big stride, as a tall man of 1.9 meters, he ran at high speed.
"Here! Over here! ”
On the edge of the box, De Cogel held his right hand high and motioned for his team-mate to pass the ball through. Behind him, Aldveld had returned to his backhand position and was the first to get close to his rival.
After thinking for a little and a half second, Bourtuis did not choose to pass, but directly chose to cut inside.
"The opposing defenders have not fully returned, if they cut into the middle and close to the penalty area, the Ajax defense, which is not particularly manpowered, will have to pull out another person to stop them, and this time, it will give the teammates an opportunity!"
Bourtuis was right, seeing him cut inside, the left flank, which was already lacking Van Riyin's empty defense, was even thinner, and Aldveld, who had just been guarding De Cogel, had to abandon the opponent and then appeared in front of Bourtuis.
"This is the time!"
Bourtuis moved his eyes and lightly divided the ball, and the ball was given to the feet of De Cogle, who was completely unmarked!
Aldveld turned around in despair and pounced on De Cogel's side again, although he knew that there would be such a consequence if he pounced just now, but if he didn't stop the opposing player from getting closer, the result would not be any different from this.
And how could De Cogel give the opponent another chance to defend him, the moment he got the ball, he got up!
"Left!"
Vermeer judged the defense of his opponent's shot as quickly as he could, and took to the air.
"It's enough!"
Feeling the huge power of the ball in his hand, Vermeer was overjoyed, but the next moment, he was completely desperate!
Mullenga!
The striker, who has been on a hot streak lately, appeared in the most critical position at the most critical moment, only to see him firmly stuck Mosanide behind him, and then calmly kicked the ball saved by Vermeer into the goal!
In the 15th minute after the start of the second half, Utrecht took the lead.
1::0!
Mulenga excitedly ran to the stands where the home fans were and roared loudly, venting the joy of scoring and the boredom of holding back most of the half!
Other players flocked to the stadium and the stadium was filled with joy.
The fans at home Utrecht did not expect the team to be able to take the lead in such a passive situation, and the excitement can be imagined.
"It's surprising that Utrecht broke through the opponent's door with their first threatening attack after a struggling defense for most of the game, and now all the pressure is on Ajax's side, although this defeat will not affect Ajax's halfway title in the Eredivisie, but conceding those three points will still make their advantage in the table negligible."
Wright also didn't expect Utrecht to hide so deeply, defending most of the game in order to win.
"Now it seems that the stubborn tactics of this game are specially prepared by Coach Waters for Ajax, although this tactic is now successful, but it is clear that Coach Waters must not have started so early, in the period before Utrecht's goal, their defense began to show signs of loosening, Ajax continued to create a threat in the penalty area, so Utrecht had to start early, so although the tactics have been successful now, Utrecht's situation is still very passive, They can't defend now, they can only attack, but they still have too much time left for Ajax! ”
Van Derst was a little sorry for Udler, and if he could delay until 80 minutes later, such a goal would almost be a death sentence, but with a lot of time left, the outcome could be uncertain.
Like Van Der Steo said, although Waters is happy that the team's tactics have been successful, but the same opponent's strong offensive firepower is still a lingering cloud in his heart, he knows very well that if the opponent is given too much space, players like Li Lin will not hesitate to give them a fatal blow, but now Utrecht can only attack, the previous successive penalty area crises have shown that the team can not hold on, they must push the opponent out of the box as much as possible, do not give them the opportunity to threaten their goal again.
Some things, in fact, have two sides, although the opponent's tactics have gained them a goal advantage, but also to show their own hole cards to the opponent, so that the opponent can see their reality clearly.
From the very beginning of the game, Frank de Boer knew in his heart that his opponent would not defend for no reason, but he did not expect that the opponent would be such a tactical arrangement.
Now De Boer no longer has doubts and speculations in his heart, which makes his heart light up, in that case, let's see who has the stronger attack of the two teams!
Looking at Utrecht pressed on the field, Frank De Boer thought secretly.
