468 Killing the Old Lord
Ajax fans witnessed the offensive and defensive duel in the stands during this period, and the protagonists were actually current and former Ajax players, and they had mixed feelings.
If Ajax can keep those talents, is European football not their world?
Reyes seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, probably because he lowered his posture to be a green leaf recently, and then patiently observed and thought, and suddenly had an epiphany.
When Qin Xiong used the right side as a breakthrough and asked him to contain the back waist line defense, he suddenly thought: I can do the work of breaking through the right side!
That's his job.
He is confident that he will be able to dominate against Emmanuelson.
He did what he thought, so he made a decisive move down the right flank in the 39th minute, smashing the ball straight through Emmanuelsson from the outside, and then pulling the ball back when the opponent turned back to form a space to cut inside, and he dribbled into the box.
Emmanuelson collapsed sooner than Blinder imagined, and even worse!
was first beaten by Qin Xiong, and then he couldn't calm down in the face of Reyes, and his offensive ability on the court couldn't be played, Blind regretted including him in the starting lineup, and secretly decided to replace him at halftime.
Reyes' breakthrough did cause panic in the Ajax back line, because Qin Xiong was still in the front line, and Galasek and Pinal could not retreat into the box to participate in the defense without fear.
They were afraid that Reyes would make a move on this side, but Reyes passed the ball back to Qin Xiong outside the box after entering the box, which made the Ajax defenders breathe a sigh of relief.
Reyes couldn't see the line for Henry's pass. I am not very confident in shooting. So he could only pass the ball to Qin Xiong, who was running out of space and could respond.
Lindbergh. Galasek and Pinar immediately started to encircle Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong transferred the ball to the left side the moment he touched the ball.
This transfer ball made the audience feel upset and fluctuating, isn't this the biggest feature that Qin Xiong initially attracted everyone's attention?
In the attack, he suddenly shifted the direction of the main attack and tore through the opponent's defense.
After Qin Xiong's pass, the Ajax defenders realized how much they invested in the defense of Reyes and Qin Xiong's side during this time, and the defensive tilt was very serious!
The defensive distance between Grigra and De Jong is too great!
It was a clear gap, and Piret still had room to dribble laterally and shoot from distance.
Henry runs to the other side of De Jong. De Jong hurried to follow, Henry stopped again, and Vermaelen had to move closer to the other side to avoid giving Piret a chance to find Henry, and Pinal rushed towards Pire's side.
At this time, Galasek, who was the most cool-headed, saw Qin Xiong's forward run, but he couldn't stop it!
You can't hold Qin Xiong and stop him from running, right?
When he turned to defend Qin Xiong, Pire played the ball, he didn't pass the ball to Henry, but crossed the ball to find the back of the goal!
It was Qin Xiong's point.
In the defensive changes of one tight and one loose, Qin Xiong's forward insertion can be said to be unimpeded. He didn't care about Galasek diagonally behind him, he would be thrown off in the forward sprint. It's Vermalen, if he gets stuck, no matter how fast Qin Xiong runs, it's useless, after all, it's impossible to go around an arc to grab points.
However, Vermaelen lost his protection at the back of goal by moving to the other side, and he was slow to stop and turn around.
What appeared in front of Qin Xiong's eyes was a half-empty goal, and Stekelenburg was powerless this time, so he could only watch Qin Xiong send the falling football pad into the goal with the arch of his right foot behind the goal.
"Arsenal have scored! Qin Xiong received Pire's cross and sent the ball into the goal of Ajax, and he scored the first time he faced his old club, at this time, the mood of Ajax fans must be very uncomfortable, look, Qin Xiong did not show excitement after the goal, he turned around and walked back very calmly, and lowered his head slightly. ”
Qin Xiong held the goal post after scoring a goal, and then lowered his head to resume his normal breathing rhythm, and when he turned around, Reyes rushed over, Qin Xiong gently pushed Reyes away, and then bowed his head slightly and walked towards the backcourt.
He didn't want to celebrate, it seemed that he couldn't do it at all, in front of the fans who had supported him and loved him, in front of them to celebrate the goal against Ajax.
Henry ran over and patted Qin Xiong on the back, and then walked to the backfield, his teammates understood Qin Xiong's emotions better, after all, he made his debut at Ajax and achieved great glory in Ajax.
Killing the old master is by no means a glorious thing, on the premise that there is no absolute contradiction.
In the stands, except for the Arsenal fans who came from afar to celebrate, the Ajax fans fell silent.
They stared at Qin Xiong quietly, and they couldn't afford to resent, the real Champions League trophy that the Ajax club permanently retained had Qin Xiong's credit.
Goodbye, not a stranger, the feelings of the past are difficult to let go, just like life, there are always mixed reunions, and there is always the silence of love and hate.
Blind was furious.
But it's more about self-blame.
He misestimated Emmanuelsen, or rather his own line-up went wrong, he didn't know how to make up for it, it really didn't seem like there was much to do, looking at the Ajax bench, who could be on the pitch and absolutely not be blown up on the wings?
The main force is injured, and there is a big gap between the substitute and the main team, which is the current situation of the giants in the second-rate league in Europe, even if it is like Ajax, it will not be extravagant enough to be able to come up with 1.5 sets of main lineups with good strength.
Arsenal only barely have 1.5 available elite players, and once they encounter a wave of injuries, the main squad will become extremely vulnerable.
The first half was over and Arsenal walked into the dressing room with a one-goal lead on the road.
Arsene Wenger praised his team's performance at half-time and then adapted to the situation in the first half, asking his team to focus on the right flank.
Regardless of whether or not Ajax make substitutions at half-time, Arsenal will have to force Ajax's left wing-back in the second half.
Reyes is pleased that Arsene Wenger's changes mean he will receive more support and help him play better.
Blind replaced Emmanuelsson with Trabelsi at half-time.
This is not a counterpoint substitution, Trabelsi is a right wing-back, whether it will work to play on the left side, outsiders don't know, but since Blind did not let Trabelsi play in the start, there must be his concerns.
In fact, the substitution didn't make any difference, as Trabelsi was very unaccustomed to the left wing-back position, and the defence was frequently out of position, causing a headache for Blind. (To be continued......)
