Chelsea's style of play tactically did not create panic at Ajax, which lowered the offensive and defensive confrontation of this game to a level and turned it into a match of individual players.

The centre-back combination of Heitinga and Escud certainly couldn't contain Hasselbainck and Crespo, but with De Jong and Galasek in action, Ajax defended more than enough to withstand the onslaught of Chelsea's attack.

Qin Xiong was in trouble.

Although Lampard is 75 times his annual salary, it does not mean that Lampard is 75 times stronger than him, but people can earn the top salary of the Premier League, and the club is definitely not stupid and has a lot of money, and there must still be excellent strength.

Iron man Frank Lampard is the quintessential B2B role, he is able to follow Qin Xiong when defending in the midfield area!

Qin Xiong only got rid of Frank Lampard when he switched between attack and defense after Lampard stepped forward to assist, and it was difficult for Qin Xiong to get rid of Lampard's close pressing if it was a frontal attack in a positional battle.

In the 14th minute, Frank Lampard stepped forward to assist and a long-range shot was blocked by Heitinga with his body, and Maxwell received a pop-up ball on the wing and quickly handed the ball to Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiongpan took the football to seize the time to launch a fast attack, he tried to challenge Makelele, even if it was at the cost of a wasted fast attack opportunity, he had to try!

The price is worth it!

It can allow Qin Xiong to figure out the strength of the offensive and defensive positions, as well as lay the game ideas for the next game, and even the next game at Stamford Bridge.

Makelele lowered his center of gravity and was ready to start, he was steady, like compatriot Vieira, giving him a sense of calmness.

Qin Xiong suddenly stopped in front of him and pulled the ball to the right side, Makelele also moved to that side, Qin Xiong suddenly kicked the ball back to the left side of his body with his right foot, ready to break through from the other side.

Huh?!

Makelle not only kept up with his rhythm, but also made a decisive steal!

Qin Xiong used his body to protect the ball to block the opponent, and then forcefully wanted to rush through from the left side.

What shocked him was that Makelele was more flexible and faster than Vieira, not only quickly recovering his body's center of gravity after an unsuccessful steal, but also being able to keep up with Qin Xiong, make a second press, and stick to Qin Xiong's body!

It's a stalker!

Qin Xiong was pressed against his body, his speed was completely unable to rush, and he was about to lose the ball, his body was already out of balance when he was hit and squeezed by Makelele's clever movements, and at the same time as his body fell, he kicked the ball to the left and passed it to Sneijder.

He then stumbled and fell, and the referee didn't say anything and didn't think Makelle had committed a foul.

In the interval between Qin Xiong and Makelele entangled, and finally fell to the ground, Lampard returned to the defense from the front, Makelele saw this, immediately assisted in the defense of the wing, he moved laterally, better than Vieira, it can be said that the French team has these two midfielders, the coverage of the midfield is the strongest among all combinations in the world, there is Makelele horizontally, Vieira vertically, up and down, left and right, they are all midfielders, but the coverage is unprecedentedly wide.

Sneijder also tried to possess the ball and play one-on-one with Melchiot, but after Makelele came to press, Sneijder was directly tackled and lost possession without any suspense.

Qin Xiong's mind was extremely clear as he stood up and ran back.

It can be said that Chelsea's defense is a typical close pressing in the Premier League, stalking, so that the opponent can not control the ball at all, which is beyond the scope of technical encounters, they will use their bodies more to fight, stuck positions, the ball can pass, people must stay!

Ranieri, who was supervising the game on the sidelines, was reassured.

When he studied Ajax, he was extremely jealous of Ajax's ability to control the ball, and Qin Xiong, the core of the midfield, must be the key figure to be cared for.

If Qin Xiong had been playing the same way he had just played, Ranieri would have been able to sit back and relax.

The Premier League's close pressing makes the local space very narrow, and even if you are a master of ball control, you may not be able to adapt to the brutal and unreasonable scramble of the Premier League team.

There is a classic example of failure in the Chelsea squad: Argentine wizard Veron.

His two years at Manchester United were a failure, he came to Chelsea and got injured again, and it was not for nothing that the technical flow struggled to establish himself in the Premier League, unless you really reached an otherworldly level, such as Bergkamp.

Otherwise, players like Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard would be more able to establish themselves in midfield.

Qin Xiong was by no means as tendoned as Ranieri thought, he just tried it to make himself know the bottom of his heart.

One thing he has now established is that too much possession in the midfield area is dangerous.

Leaving aside the fact that he is unlikely to break down the combined defence of Frank Lampard and Makelele in a frontal attack in positional battles, a single Makelele would surely slow down Ajax's attack if he were to go head-to-head.

If you can't get past Makelle cleanly, then don't try to do it again, because if you go to great lengths to get past them, then what? Ironman Frank Lampard will also have to defend in place, which is definitely not a good deal in terms of efficiency, or even a loss-making deal.

In the nearly 20-minute game, Qin Xiong also spotted Chelsea's midfielders, Frank Lampard and Claude Makelle, who did not make too many individual dribbling breakthroughs.

Unless there is a safe space in front of him, Makelle will not dribble until he has a safe space in front of him, otherwise he will be decisive and secure in passing the ball to his team-mates.

Frank Lampard doesn't have a great skill set to break through, he is more adept at passing and finding open space up front, which is why Chelsea's midfield brain is more about passing when it comes to organising attacks.

Qin Xiong gestured to his teammates in the front court, asked them to stand up and recycle first, and completely changed their style of play.

Completely abandon personal breakthroughs and cooperate with the whole situation.

It was a back-and-forth tug-of-war between the two sides, with Chelsea's simple and brutal crosses from the wings working, and two of Hasselbaink's headers, although deflected, showed a substantial threat.

Qin Xiong was a little excited in his heart.

It's going to be a showdown between him and Frank Lampard!

But it's not about one-on-one, who can pass whom, who can defend whom.

It belongs to the brain of the midfield, and the team commander has a showdown in the organization and scheduling talent of the overall strategy!

Interesting.

While playing a game of cat and mouse in this midfield area, whoever can create more chances for their team and create more lethal killing opportunities will become the decisive point of the game!

To do this, you need to be fast, decisive, and move more aggressively to get rid of the opponent's entanglement.

And in the organization, it created an unexpected killing machine.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong took the initiative to run to the right side of the midfield, and when Grigra passed the ball to him, Lampard was less than three metres away from him in the middle, and Makelele was ready to help Qin Xiong move to the target area of the middle of the field from the back position.

Qin Xiong stops the ball, turns around, gets up, and makes a long pass!

The ball crosses the half from the right side of the midfield and goes straight to the left side of the front.

Sneijder stepped back to pick up the ball, took control of the ball, and then didn't wait for Melchiott to get close, and passed the ball back to Maxwell, who was following up behind.

Maxwell didn't cross the halfway line and tucked the ball straight to the left side of the box.

Ibrahimovic withdrew from the box and waited with his back to the ball on the perimeter.

Makelle and Terry were going to form a flanking attack on Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic was not alarmed, facing the incoming ball, and calmly knocked the ball back.

On the left side of his front field, the person who came to answer Ibrahimovic's pass back was Qin Xiong!

He moved quickly from the right to the left, and when his team-mates were linking, he was running and was observed by his team-mates.

Frank Lampard kept a close eye on Qin Xiong's movement, but he paid more attention to preventing Qin Xiong from cutting forward, unexpectedly Qin Xiong was moving forward when he ran to the middle, and suddenly retreated in a roundabout way to the left side of the field.

Lampard continued to block Qin Xiong's line to move to the middle, but Qin Xiong only flicked the ball forward at the same time as touching the ball, adjusted it and sent it straight with a diagonal pass!

The audience was dumbfounded.

Qin Xiong's pass, with the effect of a scalpel, tore through the Chelsea defense and cut straight to the heart.

The ball slid diagonally between Makelele and Frank Lampard and left Gallas and John Terry out of touch before it raced into the box.

Dutch golden boy Van der Vaart, who cut inside the box from the right side, arrived with a horse!
