Six Watches -

When the Ajax bus drove into Heerenveen, Qin Xiong, who was sitting in the bus, saw the beautiful city scene in winter, covered with silver frost throughout the whole process, as if in a fairy tale, beautiful and quiet.

Today's weather has improved, with small snowflakes in the sky, much better than yesterday's heavy snowfall.

Although the Dutch Football Association rejected Heerenveen's suggestion, there was still room for manoeuvre, that is, when the start time of the match came, the referee could decide whether to play according to the weather conditions.

Looking at today's light snowy weather, the game should not be cut in half.

The bus pulled into Heerenveen's home stadium, and Sneijder was the first to get off the bus.

He looked around, as if he was not used to the weather that was much colder than Amsterdam, and rubbed his hands together, and the heat rose and could be clearly seen.

Suddenly, his head warmed, and someone behind him put on a warm hat for him, and he looked back and saw that it was Qin Xiong.

Sneijder lifted his hat down, covering both ears, and then led the Heerenveen staff to the visiting dressing room.

Ajax's players added thermal underwear to the dressing room, put on long-sleeved winter jerseys, and some players wore gloves, such as Qin Xiong.

They also wore warm hats to warm up inside the stadium.

The Abrunstra Stadium is not large, with a capacity of no more than 20,000 people.

There is a lot of snow on the side of the stadium, you can build a snowman, in the stadium, there are staff in the clearing of the snow accumulated in the last two hours, no way, the small stadium, there is no geothermal system.

When the players from both sides walked into the pitch with their heads held high, there was no snow in the stadium, and the referee walked in front with a red ball for the snowy game.

It was still snowing, and the players couldn't help but move around the spot before kick-off to make sure they didn't cool down.

Heerenveen coach De Haan stood on the sidelines with a blank face.

The conspiracy didn't succeed.

But it doesn't matter, since Ajax insists on coming, he chooses to "avoid the war"!

Players like Samaras, who focus on development, are simply on the bench.

He fielded a group of blue-collar fighters who could just stop Ajax's progress.

Even if he loses, De Haan can accept it, don't be slaughtered, and it will hurt the confidence of the team, whatever.

The race is on.

Qin Xiong and his teammates started running, from slow to fast, and when their physical condition was mobilized, they began to put pressure on Heerenveen.

Heerenfen is the king of the eight who eats the scales and is determined to defend it.

Even if it's your home turf!

Qin Xiong organized three threatening attacks into the penalty area, but they didn't succeed.

He clearly felt that the overall fluidity of the team had improved compared to the previous game.

But it still hasn't returned to its best form before the winter break.

It doesn't matter, take your time.

If there is an improvement, this is a sign of recovery.

Heerenveen surrounded the box and it was unlikely, for Ajax to finish their opponents in the box.

Ibrahimovic is much calmer than he was at the start of the season and he is not in a hurry.

After 20 minutes of the first half, Qin Xiong gestured to Ibu Yaoyao, meaning that we would shoot from a distance, and Ibu nodded at him.

He started to move into a fulcrum-type center.

Ajax's offensive is under the dispatch of Qin Xiong, and the passing and cutting on the periphery are smooth, and they no longer develop offensive in the penalty area, but there must be a threat point in the penalty area.

Those who stand on the pile, those who run, must have.

Sneijder and Van der Vaart, the two took turns to alternately cut into the penalty area, causing the opponent's defense to divert attention, which is tactical intimidation!

But Ajax's dangerous shots came from the periphery.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Sneijder combined with Pienal, Maxwell cut in from the wing, he took Sneijder's place, and Sneijder cut inside the box to run.

There was plenty of space on the perimeter of Lingyi's side, as Sneijder took away two Heerenveen defenders and Pienal passed the ball to Maxwell.

The Brazilian suddenly played the ball back to Pinar on the left side of the middle when he drew another defender to press.

Heerenveen was pinned down by too many forces in this wave of defense, Sneijder, Maxwell, and, Pinal!

Defenders Belgian Virbust and Pole Radomski pounced on Pienal.

Seeing this, Pinar was not surprised or overjoyed, and his mentality was extremely happy.

Because, he passed the ball!

He nudged the ball sideways, and to his right, Heerenveen exposed no small amount of space.

Ajax's attacking attack had the best chance of scoring for his team-mates after keeping most of the opposition defence at bay.

Pierre's calm passing was in stark contrast to his team-mate's blistering run.

The person who rushed up from the area behind him was none other than Qin Xiong!

He thanked Pienal for the good ball, it was so comfortable.

He didn't have to stop the ball, he adjusted his pace as he ran, watching the position of the opposing goalkeeper, the angle of his shot and the line.

Then he rushed up and fired a shocking long shot!

The football does not spin in the slightest, the momentum is like a dragon, and it is flying in the sky!

Rumble!

Hang on to the dead end!

A visually stunning long-range shot blasted through Heerenveen's goal!

Wearing gloves and a long-sleeved shirt, Qin Xiong exhaled a long breath, which was especially noticeable in the cold weather, and he slowed down and turned back to high-five Pinar in celebration.

His team-mates came over to celebrate with him, and judging from the running and coordination in the first half, their form was improving, and everyone felt it.

However, it is not the best, and of course they are not satisfied.

Ajax's attacking system is flexible and changeable, and since it doesn't work in the box, it creates chances on the perimeter, which is not difficult in a mature technical and tactical system.

Heerenveen does not seek victory, a draw is acceptable, even if it is behind, it is better to win if you lose less.

This is the reality of the weak team, the ideal, too far away.

De Haan didn't make any changes, and Heerenveen remained as stubborn as ever.

Ajax scored a goal in the first half to take a temporary lead.

In the second half, they also firmly gave the periphery a long-range chance.

The game was also difficult, and in addition to the weather and the environmental impact of the venue, Heerenveen's stubborn stance was a great test of the team's mental quality.

Fortunately, Ajax's temperament in the league is still very stable, perhaps related to their huge advantage in the standings.

It wasn't until the 80th minute of the second half that Ajax scored the second goal from the right side of the box with a long-range shot from outside the box from Van der Vaart, the goalkeeper saved, and Ibrahimovic scored the second goal in front of goal.

Eventually, 2:0.

Ajax won on the road.

Back in the dressing room, the Ajax players still didn't celebrate, and everyone was encouraging and affirming each other.

It was a tough away game, they played much better than the last game, the attack was very fluid, but the environment was limited, and the tempo still couldn't reach the fastest Cheng dù in the past.

The state is improving, and the confidence is recovering.

After the winter break of Ajax, with the joint efforts of the players and coaches of the whole team, they fought to nourish the battle, walked on the ideal track, and moved forward, unwilling to stop, unwilling to retreat, forward!

Leaving the chilly Heerenveen behind the slightly warmer sunshine of Amsterdam, Ajax was suddenly alive and well when they hosted The Hague three days later.

After the difficult win over Nijmegen, Ajax fans also had concerns: how to play Arsenal in this state?

But after watching Ajax's match against The Hague, the fans were completely relieved of their worries.

In the 67th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled forward in the midfield, and after his teammates ran to contain the opponent's defensive strength, he created a space and line for him to smash Huanglong, and he boldly and decisively dribbled to break through.

He first deceived the opponent's midfielder Hussman with a fake facsimile technical move, then raised his speed, slowed down in front of Van der Ligt, and accelerated past the opponent with a rhythmic lateral pull, and finally in front of the penalty area, Hague defender Rafala made a frizzy front tackle, giving Qin Xiong the opportunity to perform a Marseille maneuver.

Dodging Lafara's tackle and turning forward, Qin Xiong had already formed a single knife, and when goalkeeper De Gut abandoned the goal, Qin Xiong calmly volleyed into the near corner of the goal, and the half-high ball left the goalkeeper helpless, and the football went into the net.

Ajax fans in the stands at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium stood up and applauded.

Qin Xiong, scored the team's fourth goal!

Rewrite the score to 4:0.

And his series of thrilling performances have already conquered the fans, who regard him as a darling and an indispensable core of the Ajax team. R1152
