This scene on the Ajax bench was naturally seen by Wright and Vanderst, and the two were also made to cry and laugh, but the joy is always short-lived, and the game is about to officially begin.

"In this game, Ajax's main players Borigot and Eriksen were unable to start because of a little injury, so this game will be more difficult for Ajax to play, especially Eriksen's absence has a more significant impact on Ajax, so this is also Alkmaar's best chance to win the last Eredivisie champion away!"

"Alright, with a whistle from referee Blom, the game begins!"

From the start of the game, the two teams began to go back and forth, and both sides got into the groove quickly, with Ajax seizing a chance early on to gain the advantage of the scoreline.

"VanderWiel! The much-rumored defender with a knife opened the scoring for the team, and it was Sim de Jong who provided the assist! ”

Wright's voice was slightly emotional, clearly regretting Vanderveel's imminent departure.

On the bench, the Ajax players rejoiced at the goal, and no one expected the game to start so smoothly, except for Frank de Boer who was still looking at the pitch with a serious face and did not show too much obvious excitement or joy.

"I think I'm afraid Coach Frank is also having a headache about who to put in VanderWiel's place after he leaves!" Vandersteo guessed.

Yes, Coach Frank is also worried about this matter, although he can change the current centre-back Van Rijn to right-back, who was also a right-back. Then let new signing Mosanïd play at central defence, but Van Riyin, who is obviously weak in attack and strong in defense, is certainly far less effective in attack than Van de Wiel.

On the pitch, after Ajax took the lead, the two teams entered a stalemate, with no achievements between the two sides in the first half and half-time.

AZ Alkmaar dressing room.

"Players! Lift up the spirit! We still have a chance in this game! ”

The team's head coach Vebek clapped his hands vigorously to encourage his players, and then took out the tactical board and drew a few attack roadmaps.

"After my observation in the first half, I found a hole in the Ajax defense now!" As he spoke, Verbik pointed his hand at the name of Ajax central defender Van Rijn, "Van Rijn's height is too short compared to our Altidore, he relies heavily on his body and prediction when defending, so in the second half, we took advantage of his height disadvantage to attack him, and all the players who got the ball went to Altidore, and Altidore took the initiative to find Van Riyin on the field." We're sure we'll be able to open a gap in him! ”

AZ Alkmaar, who had been prompted by the manager, changed his style of play in the second half, frequently finding Altidore with high balls.

In the box, Van Riin was once again crushed by Altidore, but his header went just wide of the post. It was already the second time in the second half that Altidore had a dangerous shot on goal. Now it seems that AZ Alkmaar has found Ajax's goal, Van Riyne's height is indeed too difficult to defend Altidore, but he can't help it, Altidore is specifically attacking on his side, clearly trying to blow him up. ”

Van Derst was right, and Coach Frank saw it, but it was too early to make a substitution, and he had to consider the players' feelings.

But while he was hesitating, the team conceded a goal.

In the fifth minute of the second half, just two minutes after the last header, AZ Alkmaar made a comeback, this time the central defender Wigfer made a long pass in the midfield, Altidore stopped the ball on his chest, pressed Van Rijn to the ground with both hands, leaned on the opponent and used his body to force into the penalty area, and a powerful volley broke the goalkeeper Vermeer's ten fingers.

"1-1, just five minutes after the second half, AZ Alkmaar equalised, and if it continues like this, Ajax may not be in a good situation. Van Riyin has no way to deal with the other party here, Ajax is too passive if it goes on like this! ”

Frank de Boer, who also knew this, did not hesitate any longer and immediately asked Mosanyid to warm up.

Mosanyid's rise was immediately booed by AZ Alkmaar fans in the stadium, as he had just moved from AZ Alkmaar to Ajax this season.

Although coach Frank de Boer reacted unhappily, it was not long before AZ Alkmaar took the lead and it was Altidore who scored.

"Beautiful header! It was still Altidore's goal. The process of scoring was very simple, AZ Alkmaar left winger Martens hoisted the ball into the box on the left side of the box, Altidore once again pressed Van Rijn under him, and then jumped high to score the second goal of the game! ”

"Look, Coach Frank opted for a substitution, Mosanyid came on for Van Rijn. In fact, Coach Frank's actions were fast enough, but there was no way, these two goals were also very fast, and they caught Ajax off guard! ”

Wright was also a little excited, and AZ Alkmaar's sudden two goals set the mood of the game on fire.

"I'm sorry, head, it was my mistake that didn't deserve it!"

Van Riyin, who was substituted, scratched his hair in annoyance and bowed his head to apologize to Coach Frank.

"It's okay, it's not your fault! Rest well! ”

Frank patted his disciple on the shoulder, comforted him a little, and then continued back to the courtside, by which time AZ Alkmaar had begun to regain some noticeable recovery.

After all, Mosanïd is a player who has walked out from AZ Alkmaar, AZ Alkmaar coach Vibique knows him very well, Mosanyi may not be too tall, but he is very physical, Altidore has no advantage against him except for being slightly taller, so he decisively asked the players to stop the very successful tactics of the midfield arrangement, and began to defend solidly, but did not relax the investment in attack.

During this time, the two sides went back and forth, and the scene was very intense, but neither scored.

The time gradually came to 70 minutes.

"It's very intense on the pitch and there are a lot of chances, but no one has taken one. So now the question is, will Ajax make substitutions? For example, Lee, who shined in the Super Cup, is not a possible alternative? ”

With Wright's words, the camera shifted to Ajax's bench, and Li Lin was given a two-second shot, which was meaningful.

"Armand, warm up the players!"

"Frank, are you going to make a change?"

After beckoning the team to warm up, Armand turned around and asked.

Generally at this time, the coach will be very cautious about substitutions, because the players on the field are playing very well now, and there are many opportunities. Because in this very intense situation, where both sides are holding their breath, replacing a player may not be able to adapt to this rhythm of the game for the time being, which will break the current equilibrium situation and directly cause the passivity of the team.

So now Frank de Boer is still hesitating, and he thinks it's better to wait and see.
