No one expected a life-and-death battle, and Ajax would play wild and unrestrained after the opening!
No one expected that in the opening 14 seconds, Ajax scored a blitzkrieg goal!
No one expected that the person who scored the goal would be Pienaar!
The outside world predicts that the Ajax players who can play a crucial role in the game may be Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, or Qin Xiong, who has been red and purple recently!
However, it is not the three of them, but Pinard, the player who has received the least attention in the recent Ajax attacking group.
But it is undeniable that Ajax's attacking group is becoming more and more tacit, and the three-dimensional sense of the offensive level is clear at a glance, never giving people a sense of chaos and rushing up.
It's a success for the team!
At this moment, Pinar, who was chased by his teammates, enjoyed the cheers of the Ajax fans all over the stadium.
The fans were relieved and worried that two shots hitting the crossbar in quick succession would be a harbinger of bad luck, but luckily the team scored immediately.
The whole team of Brugge was stunned, and coach Soried was in a trance.
That's it, conceding a goal?
Not to mention that the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Thored was in the seat of the coach's box, and his ass was not yet hot!
Koeman, who was standing on the sidelines, turned around to hug his assistants in celebration, he was confident, and of course, Ajax's recent form has shown that they definitely have the strength to crush Club Brugge!
The team is on the right track!
"Ajax got off to a good start! The goal in the opening 14 seconds is certainly a Champions League record! The record for the fastest goal in the Champions League was set a year ago by Arsenal's Gilberto Silva, who scored in the opening 20.5 seconds of the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven to set a new record for the fastest goal in the Champions League! Now, at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, Ajax's Pienal has set a new record! The exact time of the goal will definitely be repeated by UEFA officials, but it will definitely be around 15 seconds. Compared to the record-breaking achievement, Ajax now has the most solid score lead, 1:0, in the real-time standings, Ajax surpassed Club Brugge and became the second place in the group! Club Brugge had a difficult game and suffered a huge blow from the start, which could disrupt all their plans for the game! ”
On the way back to the half, Qin Xiong communicated with his teammates and told everyone to take it away after the restart.
Club Brugge suffered a sudden blow and will inevitably intensify their attack after the restart, which is certainly not in their plans, at least, manager Soljed could not have predicted that the team would concede a goal in the first minute!
Will Ajax take advantage of the victory?
If it's a normal league, you can play like this.
But this is the Champions League, and stability in the overall situation is the first element!
Ajax is ahead of the score, now we have to stabilize the scene, let the opponent not attack, and force the opponent to kick more and more urgently, and the more you kick, the more panicked!
In order to strengthen the defensive solidity, Koeman put Heitinga on the bench, with veteran Garacek as the backbone of the defence, and Escud as a partner to ensure the defense in the box.
This has taken the team's defensive quality to the next level.
Club Brugge tried to equalise after kick-off, playing aggressively but tactically without the effect of catching Ajax off guard.
Their ground crosses could not be developed in the middle, and Qin Xiong's ability to read the game was growing day by day, and he became more and more experienced in the selection of positions in defense, and the attacking formation of the opponent in the middle was very significant.
Lone striker Lange is alone in the front court, and he is surrounded by Ajax defenders on all sides, making him like a trapped beast and can only be dying!
Full-backs Mattens and Cech attacked on the two flanks, one-on-one, they couldn't beat Grigera and Maxwell, so they immediately crossed when they had the opportunity, but the effect of that kind of cross was simply terrible, and even Mattens had a cross that flew directly out of the bottom line, which was outrageous.
Simmons, Claremont, Hellacs, these are all weak and strong midfielders, they are the barrier that coach Sawjed placed in the midfield to limit the attack of Ajax's midfield, but unfortunately, in the opening blitz attack and defense, they did not play their due role.
Now, when they need to attack, they become a drag on the team!
Once Club Brugge played a teamwork that combined with the side and the middle, the three midfielders conceded a very high percentage of the ball after being inserted in the middle, one was broken, and the other was that the pass was not in place.
Ajax's overall defensive technical and tactical ability is still relatively stronger, although Van der Vaart and Sneijder are a little ineffective, but as long as they stand in position and contain an area, they are effective defensive.
In the middle of the most important part, Qin Xiong and Pienaar are both highly motivated midfielders, which makes the quality of Ajax's midfield defense good.
Ajax's steady dìng field naturally weakened the attack, avoiding the formation to move forward and the distance between the three lines was too long.
The attack lacks delicate and fluid continuous team cooperation, and most of them rely on the two-on-one or triangular passing cooperation of two or three players, and the threat is there, but not enough to be fatal.
Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Pienaar, Ibrahimovic have all tried individual breakthroughs, and the success rate is not too high, after all, after the opponent's three defensive midfielders are withdrawn, they can form a good joint defense and pack.
With 15 minutes played, Ajax was in a steady state and gave Club Brugge the feeling: 1:0, enough! We'll make it to the round of 16!
Full-backs De Cook and Van Den Heide witnessed the team's lack of attacking power in central midfield and being surrounded by opponents, and they both knew that if Brugge could not play the established tactics of defending against the counter, then there would be no threat in the positional attack.
Although Belgium is not a particularly strong football country in the European map, it has also been a dominant football country, and the European Red Devils have become famous, which is inseparable from the development of national football, the pioneers' research on football tactics, they used to be like seekers, like the football tactics research team in a Hungarian café thinking about how to win on the green field.
Therefore, Belgian players are actually growing up, and the tactical knowledge instilled by the club is not backward, and it cannot be said that they are leading the trend, at least they can keep pace with the times, which is also one of the reasons why the Dutch giants selected Belgium as the "talent base".
De Cook and Van den Heide, born and raised Belgians, know what the team needs most right now.
An unexpected point of attack!
This is also one of the core ideas of the development of football tactics in the past half century.
Hide the point of attack!
From 9 forwards, to 7 forwards, 5 forwards, 4 forwards, 3 forwards
Forwards are constantly decreasing, in addition to strengthening defense, attaching importance to midfield control and other factors, the most intuitive thing is that if the offense wants to blossom more and make the opponent unable to defend, it is necessary to hide some offensive points.
Watching the team's attack like a pool of backwater, De Cook and Van den Heide gritted their teeth, unable to sit back and watch Ajax hold on to the fruits of victory!
We were able to take away the victory at the San Siro, why can't we take the victory here as well?
Ajax have lost three of each!
We've only lost one!
Why did you advance to the round of 16?
Why!
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied!!
De Cook and Van Den Heide burst forward from the flanks with wild momentum to try to be unexpected points of attack to tear apart Ajax's defence.
However, they may not have expected it.
As the brain of Ajax's midfield, Qin Xiong has been paying attention to the changes in the position and formation of players on both sides of the overall situation.
The moment these two fullbacks stepped forward, Qin Xiong's eyes suddenly sharpened!
Pienaar was deeply involved in the defence and teamed up with Maxwell on the left flank to trap De Cook who had stepped forward to attack.
After Maxwell broke the ball, he immediately passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong, who was running in the middle of the midfield.
After Qin Xiong touched the ball and turned around, he suddenly accelerated!
As he began to accelerate, as he dribbled, the Ajax attacking system seemed to wake up from its slumber and began to function as a tacit whole.
Like a calm male lion, he began to show his bloody fangs to his prey!
