089 I love rain fights!
Thanks to "Kylz" for the tip! ――
Adrianse has reason to expect from his team and crush Ajax!
In the same way, AZ Alkmaar fans have a lot of confidence in the team!
This is not ridiculous!
Take a look at AZ Alkmaar's results in the first nine rounds.
In addition to the first round of the league opener, they unexpectedly lost to Willem II on the road, and similarly, Willem II is also the team that Adrianse once coached, and it was he who personally transformed Willem II from the bottom to the middle, and with that experience, Adrianse became famous in the coaching circle!
Since that defeat, AZ Alkmaar have been on a five-game unbeaten streak!
They have an impressive record of 7 wins and 1 draw.
Drawn at home by Feyenoord and away from home they captured the Philips Arena!
In the standings, AZ Alkmaar are now second, two points behind Ajax! 3 points ahead of defending champions PSV Eindhoven!
They don't have the most high-profile talents in the Netherlands, Robben, Van Persie, Kezman, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Ibrahimovic, but they are relying on their tenacious overall combat effectiveness, unity and cooperation, and efficient tactical execution, in the expectation of fans, to try to repeat the miracle of more than 20 years ago: King's Landing in the Orange Land!
To conquer this land, you must defeat your most direct competitors!
Adrianse's heart is far less calm and strict than it seems, he is arrogant, hot-blooded, and in the cold rain, as if his blood is boiling!
Ajax!
I'll take AZ Alkmaar to the skies!
With PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and you, Ajax!
Compete for the throne!
Koeman must know that AZ Alkmaar have been too strong lately, and they can be called arrogant!
So even if there will be a Champions League life-and-death battle in a few days, this game away from AZ Alkmaar still sent the whole team's main team, but it was safe for the veteran Galasek to avoid the game.
When it matters most, the clash between competitors can have a crucial turning point for the whole season!
If Ajax loses!
AZ Alkmaar usurps the throne to the top!
What a great spiritual boost would this be for AZ Alkmaar, who are mostly "blue-collar fighters"?
But on the other hand, if AZ Alkmaar can't win, they will either see Ajax get out of the way on their doorstep, or worse, watching Ajax open up the gap with them, and at the same time may be caught up by PSV Eindhoven, how heavy will such a blow be for them?
It is precisely because of these factors that Ajax's late October and early November have been the toughest challenges in the first half of the season, with two Champions League games and two league games having a heavy impact on the whole season that is difficult to observe with the naked eye.
Qin Xiong did not see the heavy influence of the rain battle factor in this game, he played very smoothly, on the one hand, he was well prepared, on the other hand, he was not under much pressure, the opponent did not focus on the middle, and his activities were not affected.
Ajax was passive from the opening momentum, in the wind and rain, the overall rhythm of the whole Alkmaar team from the opening was fast, the attack was clean and neat, the defense was active, and the physical condition was obviously stronger than Ajax, which made Ajax unable to play an advantage in the offensive and defensive rhythm.
Qin Xiong didn't force the pace of the team, and pursued fast with AZ Alkmaar, faster than his opponent!
This is unrealistic, first of all, the whole Ajax team itself does not want to go all out in this game, they want to win in a smarter and less expensive way, which requires Qin Xiong, the midfield commander, to stay calm at all times, not to drive the rhythm, not to invisibly let his teammates to break out frequently.
It seems that Qin Xiong is not in control of the overall situation as he has in the past games, and he has also become unpretentious and inconspicuous.
He was thinking, he was observing, he was gathering information about the opponent's overall formation.
On the basis of not being able to fight fast with the opponent, the opponent's two defensive midfielders are close to the back line, which compresses the space for Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic to move in the middle.
Qin Xiong began to take advantage of this, and he didn't fight hard, but did the opposite, slowly!
Unbeatably slow!
Slow to drag mud and water!
AZ Alkmaar retreated after the fast attack, Qin Xiong did not take advantage of the rhythm difference in the transition between attack and defense to play a fast attack, but slowly and methodically with De Jong, the two fullbacks to pass the ball, and even, sometimes he would slowly dribble in the midfield by himself, waiting for the opponent to surround him.
In the 11th minute, Mildik took the ball on the right side and ran for a long time, and in a cross from the side, Nelise was defeated by Escud in the scramble for a header, Qin Xiong controlled the ball on the periphery, he did not launch a counterattack, walked the ball forward slowly, and waited for the opponent's players to return before he passed the ball to Sneijder on the side, but Ajax obviously did not have a good opportunity to break quickly, and it became a positional battle.
4 minutes later, Van der Vaart's long-range shot from the periphery was blocked, AZ Alkmaar played a fast attack, Huy Segi shook off Sikora on the side, suddenly cut inside with the ball horizontally in front of Grigra, and was cut off by Qin Xiong back to the defense, Qin Xiong turned around 180 degrees on the spot, and shook off Huy Seghi, who lost the ball and failed to rob it, and immediately retreated, Ajax still did not play a fast attack under Qin Xiong's leadership.
This made Coman on the sidelines incomprehensible.
Qin Xiong not only did not speed up himself, but he also did not even hand over the ball to Van der Vaart, letting the captain speed up.
It's like he's saying to everyone in the world: Ajax, just get a draw!
Qin Xiong, however, observed the opponent's reaction every time he possessed the ball.
When Van der Vaart also had to retreat to take the initiative to ask Qin Xiong for the ball, AZ Alkmaar's double midfielders were a little idle.
Qin Xiong's slowing down made AZ Alkmaar very uncomfortable.
They want to win!
Not afraid of the Ajax attack.
In fact, the more Ajax attacked, the happier they became, relying on the overall defense, and then grasping the poor rhythm of the offensive and defensive transitions, to play Ajax's counterattack!
But Qin Xiong's way of slowing down the pace was, on the one hand, wasting time, and on the other hand, it was also making their boiling blood gradually cool.
The state needs to be continued!
They shuttled up and down, on a rhythm that they were very satisfied with, this rhythm, which was invisibly broken by Qin Xiong, became incoherent, and needed to pause, restart, pause, restart!
In order to maintain this rhythm, the double back waist moved!
Busquemolen boldly hit the midfielder, not daring to grab Qin Xiong, but at least to follow Van der Vaart, let his own double strikers to surround Qin Xiong, forcing Ajax not to let Qin Xiong control the ball for a long time, football, rolling, circulation, rhythm, will naturally speed up!
However, in the 24th minute, Busquemolen may not have realized it, but Adrianse on the sidelines must have suddenly realized!
Qin Xiong, the Chinese player, is so cunning!
It was another seemingly casual dribbling, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball from the back area to the middle line, and when Busquemolen followed Van der Vaart, Qin Xiong suddenly made a long pass!
He deliberately kicked the ball high, and the ball landed in the front of the field, slightly off the center, and Walters, another midfielder, could not get to the landing point in the first place, so he could only let the ball bounce to the ground.
Ibrahimovic was caught in the bag of two central defenders, and he was originally a little helpless, but when he saw Qin Xiong's pass in retrospect, he subconsciously squinted his eyes and his mind was running rapidly.
Playing football all year round, it is a habitual prediction similar to the sixth sense of the flight trajectory of the football after it bounces to the ground.
If it is not bad, the football will bounce off the ground and then fly forward, and the landing point will be exactly on the left side of Ibrahimovic!
And to his left, it happens to be AZ Alkmaar central defender Jay Vijak in the town!
Probably everyone who goes to predict will think that Wijaek can clear the ball with a steady header, even if Ibrahimovic is stronger than him, but as long as he stands in position, Ibrahimovic dares to squeeze and collide, and he will inevitably be punished for a foul!
But, Ibrahim, didn't go to rob, didn't fight!
He ran in the direction behind Vijaek!
Wijac's attention is still on the football and he is ready to head the ball away.
At this moment, Qin Xiong, who was in the midfield, had a sly smile on his face.
Rain Fight, I love Rain Fight!
It makes me stronger, makes me, and finds a new joy of playing!
The bouncing ball bounced up again and flew forward.
Vijaek, who was originally planning to break the siege, suddenly looked panicked!
Football, in a slippery field, under the action of unusual friction, there is a noticeable acceleration!
Vijaek, he can't take off, because he can't get out of the jump!
He immediately turned around, but he saw a ghost!
Ibrahimovic, with no difficulty in countering offside, stood in the real landing position of the football, and at the moment when the football fell, he half-turned and unloaded the ball with his chest, and, diagonally towards the goal!
Facing the No. 2 goalkeeper of the Dutch national team, Timol, Ibrahimovic showed his super technical ability, stopping the ball on his chest, not waiting for the ball to land, and volleying!
Football, into the net!
Timol, no response!
