Chapter 219. Anxious
At this time in the Amsterdam Arena, the fans on both sides are in clear camps, and the sound of helicopter propellers is looming over the stadium, and aerial cameras are recording everything that happens in the stadium at this time. And in the sky not far away, a small plane flew by, leaving colorful handwriting in the sky.
"We are champions!"
This is what the Ajax fans expect from the team, and it is also an encouragement, the fans have done everything they can for the team, and the rest can only depend on the performance of the players themselves!
Standing in the player tunnel, the first impression of the players on both sides of each other was that they were young, the players on both sides were very young, and Li Lin was very sensitive to the fact that a lot of eyes were focused on his face.
The young striker Rodrigo looked at Li Lin's obviously more youthful face, and remembered the agent's words.
"It's a rare stage to show yourself and the team opposite has a talent that has all the European attention, like Eriksen, like the sudden rise of Lee, and if you can outperform them in this game, you'll be the most watched player of the night!"
Rodrigo echoed his agent's previous words in his heart, and his clenched fists tightened again. Not only does he have to help the team win the championship against their opponents, but he also has to defeat these so-called talents and prove that he is never worse than them!
Li Lin, who doesn't know that he has been used as a stepping stone, is still waiting for the players to enter, he has adjusted himself to the best condition, and he will go all out in this game!
At this time, there were too many people in the stands who came to watch the game, including Morrison and Pogba, who sat together wearing sunglasses and looked afraid of being recognized; There are Kaya and Emma, who also made a special trip back from the United States; There are also the Mengjun sisters, as well as the old Roberts and other people in the bar, today, all the people who have a good relationship with Li Lin have come to the scene, and they will all witness this game!
"This game has finally begun!"
"Let's introduce the starting line-up of both sides first, Benfica's side, the goalkeeper is Artur, the back line is Mel Gallejo, Garay, Luizon and Almeida, the midfielders Nemanja Matic and Perez serve as double midfielders, the front field Gaitan, Rodrygo and Savior are lined up, and the single striker Cardoso rushes forward!"
"On the Ajax side, the lineup has not changed much, the goalkeeper is still Vermeer, the defenders Blind, Mosanyid, Aldveld and Van Rijn, three midfielders, Eriksen and De Jong on both sides, Paulsen in the middle. Three forwards, Boriguet in the middle, Li Lin and Fisher on one side. ”
As soon as the game began, Benfica used their own high striker of 1.93 meters to create a threat in the Ajax penalty area!
Rodrigo picked behind Blind, Savior used his speed to eat Blind raw, and forced a kick cross under the interference of the opponent, the ball was high and floating, but Cardoso's height advantage still helped him top the ball, and he pushed out a high quality!
Vermeer held the ball out of the bottom line with a smart one-handed support in front of the goal, and although the game had just begun, Vermeer was very fast to get into the game!
The stadium resounded with the regretful sighs of Benfica fans, but it was followed by applause from fans on both sides, all cheering for their respective teams.
"Cheer up and be optimistic about him!"
Vermeer shouted loudly in the box, reminding his teammates.
Benfica then whipped in a corner, but this time Aldvelde didn't let Cardoso get his head on the ball and headed it out of the box.
Fisher got the ball on the flank and immediately burst onto the ball, but before he could reach midfield, he was stopped by the opposition midfielder and full-back, and he could only slow down and return the ball to Eriksen. At this time, Eriksen, who was almost standing on the left sideline, showed his vision and ability at his feet, after getting the ball, he looked up and directly chose to transfer his feet, and the ball crossed most of the court and came directly to the feet of Li Lin on the right side of the court!
"What a beautiful transfer ball! A bowl of cherries! ”
Li Lin, who got the ball, also secretly applauded the opponent's pass in his heart at this time, in front of him, Melgalejo looked at Li Lin a little nervously, knowing Li Lin's ability, he was very jealous of Li Lin's speed at this time, and was ready to stop the opponent from getting up at any time.
Li Lin also felt that the other party was a little nervous, so he made a tentative acceleration to the side, only to see that at the first time, Melgalejo pounced, and his body directly hit Li Lin's body, locking Li Lin's forward line, and snatching the ball at Li Lin's feet!
"Melgalejo's ferocious defense! It looks like he doesn't want to give his opponent the slightest chance! ”
"Got it!"
Melgalejo, who touched the ball with his foot, was overjoyed, but the next moment, the ball that was still at his feet disappeared!
In an instant, the alarm bell in Melgalejo's heart rang for a long time, and he didn't have time to observe the position of the ball, and subconsciously reached out and pulled Li Lin, and this pull, the force from his hand almost brought him to himself, but he also successfully pulled Li Lin down.
"Toot toot!"
The referee walked over and showed Melgallejo a yellow card without hesitation, which was definitely bad news for Benfica, the game had just started, and their main left-back was saddled with a yellow card!
Melgalejo shook his head a little annoyed, but he was just frustrated by his reckless tackle, he didn't regret this foul, this ball must not let the opponent pass!
Li Lin got up from the ground, spit out the turf he accidentally ate in his mouth, and looked at Melgalejo with some surprise, he didn't expect this guy to react so quickly, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull himself down.
A similar duel is a microcosm of the first half of the game between the two sides, the two teams did not have that kind of cautious mutual testing, but they came up with full firepower, you go back and forth, but by the end of the first half, the two sides still did not score.
'Both teams were in great form in the first half, creating very good chances and defending. But if you continue to play like this, there will definitely be no fewer goals in the second half! ”
Wright had this to say about the first half.
"It's up to whoever scores the first goal first, and once the deadlock is broken, the goals could follow!"
Van Derstein has seen too much of this situation and he is looking forward to a great goalscoring performance from both players!
