202 The Last Gamble
Today, I broke out again!
One Change-
Sonk has no tacit understanding with the main attacking group, and he and Ibrahimovic are very different center forwards, so if he plays, he may even have to change the attacking thinking with the other three attacking players.
It's understandable not to go on a songke.
However, O'Brien does not have much tacit understanding with the main team of the first team, but perhaps Koeman's idea of choosing him is: defensive players, it is enough to destroy the opponent's attack!
One more person and one more power, maybe.
O'Brien didn't expect to play at all, and after a hasty warm-up, he made a big splash with his first touch.
Stop the ball and miss it!
It's no ordinary game, it's a Champions League semi-final, and Ajax is still playing away!
O'Brien, who hasn't played a few high-quality games in a season, is understandably nervous.
But maybe it's unacceptable!
Qin Xiong felt that Coman might as well send Pienaar as well, so that at least the midfielders could pass the ball together and delay the effect of time would be better.
The reason he thought that way was because O'Brien made a mistake on the ball and almost allowed Zikes to blast a long-range shot from front of the box past Lobonte.
As a teammate, he didn't dare to pass the ball to O'Brien with confidence.
With one less attacking player up front who can be the fulcrum at any time, it is difficult for Ajax to play a counter-attack, even if there is space, but the team-mates are too far away from each other, and Monaco even if the two full-backs frequently assist. However, he was still able to cut Ajax's attacking system with active running and joint defense in the local area.
Ibrahimovic after being injured. Ajax's substitution was a failure!
Players who don't ask for a substitution can be a perfect replacement for Ibrahimovic. But at the very least, it has to play a positive role.
But O'Brien played the opposite role, and in defence, he did not play at a normal level, perhaps because he did not get into the game, or perhaps because Monaco's crazy momentum to equalize was too scary, and he became a-stirring stick for his own defense when defending.
The Ajax defence was in danger, and from the 78th to the 85th minute, Monaco launched a series of threatening attacks. With the back-backs recklessly pressing for assists, the role of Roten and Giuli has been revived.
In the 86th minute, Roten and Evra made a delicate cooperation on the side of the front, Roten went to the bottom line and cut into the penalty area, Evra passed the ball to him, O'Brien went back to intercept Roten, since he went, other teammates went to mark other targets and hold the dangerous area.
But O'Brien rushed to scramble and lost his body's center of gravity lightly. It was skimmed by Roten's nimbly smash.
When Qin Xiong and De Jong saw this, they went to block Rotten at the same time, but it was too late. Roten suddenly shoots with his feet when the angle is not big!
Lobont was tested with a powerful shot that blocked the near post, but it flew towards the top corner of the inside of the near post!
Lobon raised his hand to block it, and the ball refracted and the impact popped off at the junction of the beam and the column!
The football that rebounded in the penalty area was shot by Morientes for the first time!
Morientes didn't have many options for the angle of the shot in the tight space, and the ball actually hit Lobon directly and popped up again!
There was chaos in the penalty area, Qin Xiong couldn't help it, his eyes couldn't capture the trajectory of the football, he looked around to find where the football was, and when he saw it, Benardi got up on the line of the penalty area!
Again.
Bernardi seemed to shoot with his eyes closed, and the line was the same as that of Morientes' shot, and it seemed that Lobonte was the goal!
Surprisingly, on the half-high ball flight route, Heitinga stretched his leg to clear the siege, and the football grazed the surface of his foot, and there was a refraction!
Lobon was dumbfounded, he was already on his feet and ready to save, but the ball was refracted in front of his eyes, and it swerved over his head and into the goal behind him!
Heitinga raised his hand to grab his hair and looked sluggish, he didn't expect that he was kind enough to help, not only did he not clear the siege, but also interfered with his goalkeeper's almost 100% chance of making a successful save.
The Stade Louis II shook the sky after a long time, and Monaco fans saw hope!
"Bernardi equalises for Monaco! 2:2! Haha, Ajax underestimated Monaco, they thought they would win 2:1, they were very wrong! They paid the price for being conservative prematurely! Look at how panicked their defence have been in the last ten minutes, and if they can't threaten their Monaco defence with attacks and give Monaco the chance to attack with impunity, then they will regret it! ”
Yes, if Qin Xiong could hear the commentator's comments, he would also nod his head in agreement.
To be honest, how solid Ajax's defense is, even if it is a defensive system with two backs, it may not be able to really resist the enemy for thousands of miles!
Even if you want to keep the victory and win the game conservatively, you should play to Ajax's strengths.
The first is the speed of the transition between attack and defense, that is, to use counterattacks to deter the opponent.
The second is to play with the group and the skills of the players to control the game.
If you simply pile up defenders to defend to the death, sorry, Ajax is not good at it!
They are not an Italian team!
As they grow up and are baptized, the attacking factor is activated by the club's coaches all the time.
If one day Ajax's defense looks solid, it is definitely not by defending in the pure sense of the word, but because they are attacking instead of defending!
Use offense to suppress the opponent, make the opponent weaken the offense, dare not overinvest in the offense, and replace defense with offense!
Qin Xiong silently walked out of the penalty area, don't look at the time left of the game, but Ajax continued to let the opponent attack wildly, and chaos continued to occur in the penalty area, who dared to say that Monaco would not score another one? Two more?
Manchester United have told the world that even in a match like the Champions League final, it takes no more than three minutes to score two goals!
Moreover, Monaco are in a much better position now than Manchester United at that time, the score is a draw, and they are not on the verge of death.
A change has to be made!
Do you control the scene?
It's hard, and it's dangerous.
If you keep the ball in the middle of the field, if you lose the ball, it can cause a lot of trouble.
Must fight back threatened!
Van der Vaart and Sneijder were about to tee off in the center circle, but Qin Xiong walked up and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing?" Is a 30-meter sprint possible? ”
The stadium is very large, but to play a counterattack effect, start a 30-meter sprint from the midfield line, and basically enter the area with a high shooting percentage, so footballers also pay attention to the 30-meter sprint speed, not the 100-meter speed.
There's no need to hide anything from teammates, it's all for the good of the team.
Van der Vaart shook his head frankly, and Sneijder did the same.
The physical fitness of the two is at the end of the strong crossbow at this stage, and it may be okay to get rid of the ball, but it is a little difficult to sprint 30 meters to ensure that the technical performance is not abnormal.
Qin Xiong nodded and said to the two: "Then you go back to defend and pass the ball to me, I feel okay." ”
The two nodded lightly and agreed with Qin Xiong's proposal.
After the restart, Ajax did not press too much, and since they couldn't rush, they naturally couldn't defend themselves.
Monaco, on the other hand, are in high spirits and will be hoping to win the game in the little time left.
The full-backs came up, and with the drop of two Ajax wingers, Monaco's midfield line also pressed up.
Monaco roared like a beast in front of Ajax's house.
But perhaps with little time left, the mentality of the Monaco players has changed, they are more anxious, they are not patient enough in attack, they do not create good chances, and it is more like trying their luck, hoping that Ajax will make a mistake in their own chaos.
Before stoppage time, Didier Deschamps gambled off a midfielder and replaced him with a striker, with Africa's Bam Adebayor coming on and rushing straight into the Ajax penalty area to increase their attacking points.
Koeman did not dare to make a substitution, and he also saw that his replacement of O'Brien was a failure, and if he changed now, it might disrupt Ajax's defensive system, which was shaky but not completely collapsed.
Qin Xiong was waiting for his chance, and he noticed that as time became less and less, Monaco's players were frantically piling up attacks in front of the field, and Ajax had a very wide space to counterattack, and only someone needed to be able to pass the ball! (To be continued......) R1292
