224 Decisions on the fly

Proudly at Schalke Stadium, there was thunderous cheering.

Even the Porto fans stood in the stands in shock, too late to be disappointed by the goal they conceded, because they witnessed a super brilliant goal that could become a classic.

Classic?

Almost.

Many Ajax fans, especially those who follow Qin Xiong, will feel sorry for Qin Xiong's last shot, the seemingly impeccable shot, if it weren't for the one-handed block of Bayer's god-level play, I am afraid that Qin Xiong would have stayed in his classic goal on the stage of the Champions League final.

Cycling, splitting the ball, Marseille maneuvers, and the surprise of the running and ball lines, the lateral cut-ins before tearing apart the penalty area between the defenders and the midfield line are enough to shine in the world.

'Ajax equalised! The scorer was their captain Van der Vaart! The Dutchman prodigy scored from inside the box and calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net!

However, this ball must praise Qin Xiong's appearance.

He first knocked the ball with his heel back to Maxwell who had come up from the wing, and then quickly cut forward to make a simple but effective connection with Maxwell.

Qin Xiong got rid of Deco, who had been very efficient in his defense in the first half, and in front of Mendes, he feinted a long-range shot and then used the ball to pass Mendes, which was wonderful!

Surprisingly, Qin Xiong did not advance the offensive in a straight line into the penalty area, but moved laterally in front of the penalty area, and Maniche's premature tackle action allowed Qin Xiong to complete the classic and elegant Marseille slalom pass!

After moving from the left side in front of the penalty area to the right side in front of the penalty area, Qin Xiong already had space to get up, so he didn't hesitate, and shot at the bottom right corner of the goal with a heavy shot, if Baia didn't block it, this goal would be perfect!

However, from the team's point of view, Qin Xiong made a Baia save and gave Van der Vaart a chance to make up for it!

When we understand Qin Xiong's playing style, many media evaluations are unanimous: Qin Xiong is a team player, he never seems selfish on the court, he uses his ability to read the game and team awareness to help the team win, stimulate the ability of other players in the team, blend a team to produce team chemistry, and sublimate it!

Qin Xiong's contribution to this golden goal, his wonderful personal watch attracted many fans to scream and cheer, the audience in front of the TV, you didn't walk away just now, did you? If you walk away, you'll miss Qin Xiong's highlight so far, and you'll only have to watch the replay after the game! ”

Mourinho's expression changed slightly on the sidelines, and his facial muscles trembled unnaturally twice before returning to his normal color.

If Porto is to interpret the anti-counter-tactics to the extreme, including the use of rules, challenging the rules, it is also the usual trick of conservative teams, such as in Italy, which is famous for its defense, in fact, fouls are commonplace, and even when developed to the extreme, they will be spurned for more dirty methods, and since the birth of chain defense forty years ago, it has been repeating the characteristics of its peak.

And Ajax has also showcased the charm of attacking football to a global audience.

This goal also reflects the technical and tactical core of Ajax, team + individual, team-based, individual talent is unleashed.

Sneijder, Qin Xiong, Maxwell, that is actually a group cooperation of a triangular position system, Ibrahimovic's containment, Van der Vaart's running, Qin Xiong's individual performance, and the characteristics of offensive football are vividly and vividly.

Because of this, Qin Xiong and his teammates were extremely proud when they went to celebrate, and the more utilitarian Porto was, the more dissatisfied they were!

This is a-for-tat war between the ideas and styles of the green world!

Koeman was excited about his side's equaliser, but he cautioned his team to defend well.

Jose Mourinho didn't have time to adjust to hold on for the first-half lead, and the two teams tacitly closed in the final two minutes.

In the first half, Ajax and Porto played 1:1.

Back in the locker room, Coman first walked up to Ibrahimovic, bent down and whispered something in his ear.

Ibrahimovic, who returned to the pitch after recovering from a minor injury, was in the first half with good times, with good times he was able to respond or find his own shots, and when bad times he was even slow to run.

Koeman knew how strong Ibrahimovic's self-esteem was, and of course he couldn't question him in front of the whole team, so he asked Ibrahimovic how he felt about the game in a gentle way.

Ibrahimovic gave Coman a no-brainer with a firm expression.

In fact, when the football is not at his feet and the eyes on the field are not on him, he is always harassed by the small movements of opponents, Carvalho, Costa and sometimes Mendes.

This kind of harassment is sometimes not as simple as tugging at the jersey against his body, including when he takes the initiative to run, the opponent consciously blocks him, and slightly exerts force to engage him in a physical confrontation without the ball when the referee team is out of sight.

Of course, the attention of the attacking player should not always be on the opponent's defender, but should pay attention to the shape of their own attack, and then go to the run.

So Ibrahimovic would always watch his teammates behind him organize the attack, and then he was blocked by the opponent when he was running, as if he took the initiative to hit a wall, not only the running position was affected, but the mood would also become very bad.

If it weren't for the Champions League final, he would have blown up a long time ago!

Koeman then formally set the tone for the first half's make-up, establishing that the full-backs would only assist on Maxwell's side and Grigra's side would be dominated by defence.

After the redeployment, the Ajax players took a short break and returned to the pitch to wait for the start of the second half.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Mourinho is still standing on the sidelines with a calm and cold look, what will his adjustment be to Porto?

"At the start of the second half, Porto kicked off, the game was a draw for the time being, who will win this season's Champions League? Let's wait and see! ”

Porto's stance against Ajax has barely changed.

At least from the spectator's point of view, it is impossible to see how the two teams made adjustments at half-time.

But Mourinho was quick to notice.

He was aware of Koeman's defensive changes, and in the 50th minute he walked to the sideline to stop Deco and told him how to adjust his counter-attack.

There were more fouls in Porto in the second half, especially against Qin Xiong!

In the 52nd minute of the game, he was knocked to the ground from behind by the opposing striker Alberto, and the young Alberto's movements were very amateurish, which caused the Ajax generals to be very dissatisfied.

Galasek and Sneijder put pressure on the referee to think that the foul behind the opponent's back was beyond the technical maneuver to be shown a red card!

But the referee only showed Alberto a yellow card.

The scene is a little weird.

Porto's two strikers, Delle and Alberto, both had yellow cards.

This is a reflection of the fact that Porto is a united whole.

Qin Xiong was under more pressure than in the first half, and given the shocking appearance he had in the first half, the whole Porto team had a clear focus on his defence.

Qin Xiong is not in a hurry, he frequently kicks the ball, and the opponent attaches importance to him, and it is not the first time, he is used to it.

Well, I've been used to it since childhood.

And he has also developed the habit of playing football that the more he is valued by his opponents, then he will attract firepower and create opportunities for his teammates.

In the 54th minute of the second half, Qin Xiong's midfielder sent a stunning through ball from the side, Van der Vaart got rid of Valente's defense on the bottom line under the wing, and this offensive opportunity made Mourinho's heart on the sidelines tight, and he couldn't help but show a nervous expression.

Van der Vaart watched Ibrahimovic's movement in the middle and sent a low cross into the back of the net, expecting Ibrahimovic to get the ball into the back of the net, but Ibrahimovic's plan to run diagonally in front of him was disrupted by Carvalho.

The centre-back kicked the ball off the line with a tackle that left Ibrahimovic without a chance to get his feet on his feet.

Jose Mourinho was a little uneasy when he watched the Dutch genius on the sidelines.

Although he gave Deco precise tactical instructions, Porto's attack on the right did not improve much because Costinha was not a particularly attacking wide player.

Mourinho pondered for a moment on the sidelines before walking to the bench and calling a player to warm up.

The young marshal decided to make substitution adjustments. R1152
