Chapter 214. Keep moving
Ajax's sudden pressing caught the opposing players off guard, and Fisher took advantage of a mistake to break the ball, but the moment he broke the ball, he was pulled down by the opponent without hesitation.
At this point, the yellow card doesn't matter anymore, as long as Ajax doesn't threaten it, any price is acceptable.
The free-kick was more than 40 metres away from goal, but by this time almost all the players from both sides were already crowded into the Bucharest Star box. Eriksen was standing in front of the ball.
At this time, it is brainless to kick the ball into the penalty area, and the closer to the goal, the more likely it is to score.
Soon, Eriksen sent the ball and his temper flew through the air and landed in the box.
The 1.93-meter-tall central defender Galdos jumped high in the penalty area, grabbed in front of everyone, and pushed the ball out!
"Chance!"
I don't know when Li Lin, who was cruising to the edge of the penalty area, saw the ball flying towards him, his eyes lit up, and he rushed towards the ball, without making any adjustments, and directly drew an outside instep with his left foot!
The ball crossed a parabola from right to left in the air, and in the frightened eyes of the opposing goalkeeper, it fell into the goal like a star!
Flying Immortals!
In the final of the Champions League that year, Zidane once used a World Cup kick to help Real Madrid defeat Bayer Leverkusen. And Li Lin's shot will definitely not be inferior to Qi Zu's kick in terms of difficulty!
Seeing the ball enter the net, Li Lin stood in place, stunned for a while, and then ran to the stands of the away fans, his arms were spread, crazy roar, sweat and excitement were overflowing on his face at this time, at such a moment, no one is not crazy about it, not excited, this is the charm of football!
On the sidelines, after seeing Li Lin's goal, Frank de Boer raised his arms high and hugged his colleagues, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, finally, this game was finally won!
In the final moments of the game, the Bucharest Star began the final counterattack, but in the case of exhaustion on both sides, the obviously high morale of Ajax will not give the other side any chance at this time, in the end, the result of this game is fixed at 2:1, Ajax defeated the opponent 3:2 on aggregate, successfully entered the Europa League round of 16, and their next opponent is the Premier League giants Chelsea who defeated Spartak Moscow!
After the end of the European competition, Ajax's form back in the Netherlands was slightly up and down, first playing a 1::1 with the middle and lower leagues team The Hague, and then being swept 3:0 by AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch Cup, without winning two games in a row, but the Dutch Cup game itself was the result of Frank de Boer's strategic abandonment, and the Ajax squad could not reach the level of third-tier operations. Li Lin felt a lot of regret, after all, he might have won the Dutch Cup this time, but the result was gone.
……
"Li, your place is very good, I can't see that you started to be the boss at such a young age!"
Sitting at the bar, Lampard drank the beer in his hand with an expression of enjoyment on his face, don't look at Lampard is usually very self-disciplined, but in fact he is also a person who likes to drink beer very much.
Li Lin sat aside, smiled, and did not speak.
As for why Lampard is here, it is naturally because of the Europa League, Chelsea has already arrived in Amsterdam, so Lampard has time to come out and ask Li Lin for a drink.
The two chatted at the bar until late, and when Lampard walked out of the bar, he looked at Li Lin's figure and said to himself.
'Just show me how you play against Chelsea!'
……
"Lee, I heard you went drinking with Frank Lampard?"
Erikson looked at Li Lin and quipped.
"Well, after all, it's the big brother of the national team, and I, as the host, will definitely show it!"
Li Lin replied, turned his head to look at his teammates in the locker room, and it seemed that everyone was relaxed at the moment, perhaps because of the fierce battle in the last game.
"Come on, Lee, before you go back to the Premier League, give people a welcome gift and let them see what you are capable of!"
There were young players in the dressing room who were heckling and everyone agreed.
"Don't worry, I will definitely spare no effort when I have this kind of opportunity!"
Li Lin smiled and walked out of the locker room with his teammates, the game is about to start!
……
In this game, Ajax basically focused on defensive counter-attacks, facing tactician Benitez, Frank de Boer did not play too many tricks, the simplest tactics are sometimes the most practical, especially when the enemy is strong and I am weak.
In fact, this is also the case in the game, Chelsea have a bit of a separate meaning, Benitez has not done a very good job of kneading this team, Chelsea's striker Torres has lost the style of Atletico Madrid's golden boy and Liverpool's holy child, and has repeatedly missed opportunities on the field. Leave Chelsea fans lamenting.
Oscar and Eden Hazard worked well together, but it didn't work too well against the overall defensive Ajax and sleepwalking Torres, but Ajax took advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity, and Eriksen assisted Boriguet to score a goal to help Ajax win at home to Chelsea.
Although the score is not safe, the one-goal lead goes to Chelsea's home stadium and could be levelled by the minute, but it is all they can do for Ajax.
……
"It's back in London!"
Sitting on the bus, looking at the familiar scene of the game outside the car window, Li Lin didn't know that this time he could help the team win the game again.
In the league, after a small trough before, Ajax immediately found their form again, regardless of the strong team Twente or the weak team Zwolle, Ajax easily defeated each other, and while Ajax led the standings all the way, his rivals had their own problems, now it seems that the league format has become obvious, it is not far from the third league title led by Frank de Boer, and at this moment the eyes of the fans are on the second leg of the match with Chelsea, I don't know if the team will be able to break into the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Judging by the remaining teams, as long as they can get past their opponents, Ajax's chances of winning the title will skyrocket. But Ajax's opponent Chelsea must think the same way, so this game can be said to be a battle for the future title!
