Chapter 112. Late bloomer Pelle

Feyenoord's players strictly implemented the tactical arrangement of manager Koeman, and as soon as the second half came up, they launched a strong attack, suddenly raising the intensity very high, trying to use the time at the beginning of the second half to score a goal to help the team overtake.

However, Ajax, for their part, had already been mentally prepared for Feyenoord's onslaught that had just begun in the second half, and it was no surprise at all.

Frank de Boer is not stupid either, and he can certainly see that if Feyenoord are entangled with his team in midfield, there is only one way out, and their only chance is to look for another chance to score another goal and take the lead, so that Feyenoord has tactical leeway. So he warned his players early on that they had to be energetic at the beginning of the second half and never let the opponent steal a goal.

On the pitch, Imes received a pass from the midfielder and picked the ball to the middle, Pelle stood on the edge of the penalty area and took advantage of his height advantage to head back, and next to him, Vihawk followed up without adjusting and hit the goal directly, and the ball was deflected.

It was Feyenoord's third strike in the second half, but unfortunately he couldn't knock on Vermeer's door again.

Pelle is a bit disappointed, he has created many chances for his team-mates, but so far, his team-mates have basically not grasped a few. He's not young anymore and he's eager to show his ability more in games like this, and he feels that he's now at his peak, both physically and technically, as evidenced by the fact that he has scored in two consecutive games since he arrived in the Eredivisie and adapted to the Eredivisie game.

In fact, Pelle can be said to be a late bloomer, but this is not unusual, there are many Italian players who are late bloomers, the most famous such as Italian demon striker Di Natale and former Bayern Munich center Luka Toney, they are both Italian players, both are late bloomers.

The same is true for Pelle, who has been working for many years in both the Netherlands and Italy, but his performances have been lackluster, and the number of goals scored each season varies slightly depending on the number of appearances, but basically no more than 10. But this season, Pelle suddenly felt that he had matured, both physically and technically, he had reached a peak level, which made him even more ambitious, but now the most important thing for him is to show what he can do at Feyenoord and help the team win this game!

Coincidentally, Wright and Vandersteo were also talking about Pelle.

"In fact, at this point in the game, we can all see that Pelle currently has a huge advantage in handling high balls, and as a bridgehead and fulcrum for the team's attack, he has also done it perfectly. This is completely different from the lackluster Pelle at AZ Alkmaar a few years ago, if Pelle has completed his transformation after returning to Serie A, but in fact, he has not had many appearances after returning to Serie A, and his performance is also average. It's really strange that when a player reaches a certain age, he suddenly shows a lot of strength and a good competitive form. ”

Wright still knows Pelle very well, Pelle has been at AZ Alkmaar for four years, so he is no stranger to the Italian striker, but he is still a little surprised by the way Pelle performs on the pitch and before.

Next to him, Vanderst was not surprised by this situation, and said: "Pelle has a very outstanding physical advantage, which everyone can see, but too prominent advantages sometimes become disadvantages if you don't control it well, because as long as you control your biggest advantage, then you have no threat, just like the current Pelle, if he can't get an advantage in the confrontation with Aldveld, then basically he will lose his role on the court." So with the gradual increase of his game experience, he has gradually become mature, and his advantages can be thoroughly played, so he will naturally show a very strong ability, whether he can gain an advantage in the competition with his opponents, whether it can be just a matter of words, but it is completely different on the court! ”

While the two commentators were analysing the reasons for Pelle's late blooming, Feyenoord's attack was gradually suppressed by Ajax over time, and they had lost the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow in the second half, and now, the initiative of the game was back in the hands of Ajax.

Eriksen burst forward from the right and down the middle with the ball, and just as he was about to pass the ball out, Feyenoord's left-back Indy rushed up and tackled Eriksen to the ground.

Foul!

The referee did not hesitate to take out the yellow card in his hand and awarded a free kick like Indi, which is already the fifth chapter of the yellow card of the whole Feyenoord team!

Eriksen took the ball, because Eriksen scored a very wonderful goal at the beginning of the game, Feyenoord goalkeeper Landru clapped his hands a little nervously, his eyes were firmly fixed on Eriksen who was about to take the penalty, he didn't want to be the backdrop of the opponent's wonderful goal again.

However, this time Eriksen did not hit the goal directly, but passed the ball into the penalty area, and the veteran Mathieson pushed the ball out for the first time, and at the edge of the penalty area, De Jong stopped the ball, swung the ball inward, and shot directly!

The ball was so fast that goalkeeper Randru was blocked by the players in the box, and when he saw the ball, it was too late to make any moves!

1:2!

Ajax once again took the lead and basically pronounced death to their opponents!

Coman stood in the coaching area, there was no anger on his face, no anxiety, only a little helplessness, his team has done well enough, but in the case of not being able to gain the initiative in the midfield, it is difficult for them to pose too much threat to the opponent, this is a hard injury, and it is difficult to change, at least this game is difficult to change.

On the other side, Frank de Boer breathed a sigh of relief, this game was also a very painful game for him, every time Feyenoord set piece, he would be a little worried, Ajax's center-back combination is basically a very good combination in the Eredivisie, but in the face of Pelle, the striker, it was really completely suppressed!

In the next game, Li Lin assisted Fisher, who came on as a substitute, to score a goal to help the team seal the win. Although he didn't score in this game, such a performance was acceptable.
