212 After eight years

Fate played a joke on Monaco.

They continue to see hope, but it always disappears when the light comes.

The treacherous shape of the game at the Amsterdam Arena suddenly came to light in the final stages.

Monaco's players who rushed past half the pitch, the players who surrounded Qin Xiong, they collectively looked at their own goal, saw Roma sitting in front of the goal and hung their heads, and saw Sneijder and Van der Vaart hugging and celebrating.

They turned around and saw Qin Xiong with his fists raised and a victor look on his face.

The game is not over yet, but in fact they all know that the dawn of miracles has passed!

Monaco won't have another chance.

They also want to create chaos with guò attacks, and their backcourt defence will be full of holes, and Ajax's quick reaction after conceding the second goal has stifled all their efforts in disguise.

Didier Deschamps is well aware of this, and he didn't add a centre-forward to the attack as he did in the last game.

In this attacking momentum, if all three midfielders are unable to block Ajax's midfield and send shells forward, remove one more midfielder to put in the attack, and Ajax's counterattack may be successful once.

Koeman looked relieved, but ∝ still made a downward gesture towards the players on the pitch to keep them from relaxing.

"4:2, 6:4 on aggregate, Ajax captain Van der Vaart's goal may have killed the game, Monaco was eager to equalize and pressed hard, they used more numbers to surround Ajax's midfield commander Qin Xiong, as a result, Qin Xiong was prepared to send the ball forward, and Sneijder calmly got rid of the two Monaco defenders. Then give Van der Vaart a babysitter ball. Van der Vaart struck in the face of an empty goal. If Monaco don't learn their lesson and press boldly, they may concede goals for the rest of the game. ”

Sneijder and Van der Vaart walked back to the backcourt side by side, their physical strength was already exhausted, Qin Xiong had already stood in the position of watching the game, and when he saw two teammates walking towards him, he stretched out his hands. Van der Vaart and Sneijder slapped him heavily on both hands.

There was a clear divergence in the thinking of the Monaco players in team play.

The attacking players certainly want to score goals and try to pull off a miracle with about five minutes left.

However, the defensive players were worried about being broken down by Ajax's fast attack, so Monaco had an extreme disconnect at the beginning and end after the restart, completely losing the competition in the midfield area.

Ajax, on the other hand, calmly controlled the midfield area to consume time.

Ajax can't play much more aggressively than they ever want, and in the absence of centre-forward Ibrahimovic as a fulcrum, the physical exertion of this game is far greater than before, because almost every attack, they have to push half-court distance, repeatedly up and down. The physical exertion is just imaginable.

Monaco lost possession of the ball for a long time, and even counter-attacking did not seem to be tacit enough. The players at the back wanted their teammates in the front court to retreat and rebound, while the players in the front court waited for the defenders to come up and press and press, but their thinking was not unified enough, and this small contradiction led Ajax to easily consume the last time of the game.

Ibarra's final cross from the wing flew off the line and the game ended.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was in a riotous revelry!

"It's over! Ajax defeated Monaco 4:2 at home, and eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 6:4 to advance to this season's Champions League final! After a lapse of eight years, Ajax will once again stand on the stage of the Champions League final! Eight years ago, they lost to Juventus, and on 27 May 2004, will Ajax be able to replicate the glory of nine years ago? Waiting for them will be Portuguese giants Porto, and whoever wins the Champions League this season will be a miracle! See you in Germany in three weeks! ”

Stopping the pace of running, the deafening cheers rang in his ears, and the trance he felt when he was exhausted, Qin Xiong lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists, the muscles of his arms tensed, and he closed his eyes and let out a low roar.

The moment was dreamy and felt unreal even to the Ajax players themselves!

Substitutes rushed into the stadium waving their jerseys, whistling like crazy, and their teammates hugging each other and smiling incredibly.

We're going to the Champions League final?

Yes, we are going to the Champions League final, the last game of the season!

We are still young, but this battle may be the most important battle of our career!

It's a stage that many players dream of!

Unconsciously, the players of Ajax came together, and Ibrahimovic, who first walked into the field, hugged Qin Xiong and whispered incoherent words in his ear, gratitude, praise, and excitement with dirty words.

Then, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Pienal, they also came over, everyone hugged each other, and finally, more and more teammates gathered here, and they hugged together, as if they were coming together with an athlete's instinctive team spirit.

Ajax fans in the stands celebrating the team's promotion to the final saw this scene and their hearts swelled with great pride and pride.

They know that the Ibrahimovic they see today is not the best Ibrahimovic.

Sneijder, Qin Xiong, Van der Vaart, Pienal, they are not the best of themselves yet!

Because they are young, there is still room to grow, and they can get stronger!

But in the eyes of Ajax fans, they are the strongest team of our time!

A team that every Ajax person is extremely proud of!

Qin Xiong did not return to Ward Street at night, when he left the stadium, there were many reporters on the sidelines vying to interview him, he avoided them one by one, if it was not bad, there must have been many reporters in ambush on Ward Street.

The troubles of life after becoming famous are obvious, he has stopped going to the beaches of Beihai, and sometimes he can't even go back to his "home".

I just don't want to repeat the words of once, two, three times, countless times of prevarication or rejection of reporters.

He asked Freddie to find him a hotel and went straight to the hotel after the game.

When I woke up the next day, I dined directly at the hotel.

Freddie sat across from him with a smile on his face and placed a variety of football newspapers on the table.

Qin Xiong casually flipped through the newspaper while eating.

He didn't actually watch the game in the last game, only looked at the technical statistics after the game, and his numbers were not as good as those of his other teammates, nor were they as dazzling as in the previous Champions League games, and he stopped scoring goals.

But football critics or reporters who have watched the game will be full of praise for him.

Known as the "Caesar of Ajax", he has a strong dominance over the game form!

It was probably a transfer scandal with a London team, and even Fleet Street was hyping up Qin Xiong's outstanding performance in the game.

Qin Xiong looked excited.

He is not a child, he is elated when others praise him, and he is depressed and depressed when others belittle him.

Besides, after a season, there are a lot of games that have played well, and he can be indifferent to what is written in the newspaper, whether it is praise or disapproval, and he can't set off the slightest ripple in his heart.

After eating, Freddie said to Qin Xiong: "In the next three days, you take care of yourself, and I will go back to the UK." ”

Qin Xiong asked in surprise, "Visiting relatives?" ”

Freddie shook his head and smiled: "Manchester United have officially joined the negotiating table, and I have been invited to come over and seriously discuss the possibility of your move to Manchester United, I think whether you end up transferring to Manchester United or not, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to raise your value, at least to let other clubs know that you have a lot of strong bidders." ”

Qin Xiong frowned and said, "Is this good?" Bypass the club. ”

Freddy put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "This is an unspoken rule, everyone is playing like this, but I still recommend that Manchester United be more cautious and play a dozen side balls, so this time when I go back to the UK, I will not meet with any staff at Manchester United, I will meet with Ferguson's son far from Manchester." ”

Qin Xiong thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Is Sir Alex Ferguson's son also a member of the football circle?" ”

Freddie nodded: "Sort of, one of his favorite sons used to work in TV stations, and later joined a local agency in Manchester, Ferguson doted on him very much, and even banned the media for him, oh, when Stam left Manchester United, his son was behind the scenes." ”

Qin Xiong listened to it, just to satisfy his curiosity.

Freddie embarked on a journey to the UK, and Qin Xiong really didn't care too much about the transfer at this stage.

Perhaps there are many clubs that have thrown olive branches to him, and there will be no shortage of outlets next season, so he will be so calm, the problem is that he needs to think carefully and calmly, which club to choose (to be continued......
