When the 1/4 finals of the Champions League came, Qin Xiong was put in a slightly awkward position by the Dutch media.

"A 75-fold half-time matchup!"

Dutch media have compared Chelsea's number one midfielder Frank Lampard to Qin Xiong.

Hehe, there is still no discussion of the content of the competition itself.

Instead, use the difference in the annual salary of the two to make a comparison.

After Abou took charge of Stamford Bridge, he immediately renewed the contracts of Frank Lampard and John Terry, and the mainstay of the team received a sky-high contract, and Lampard also became the highest-paid representative player in the Premier League.

And his annual salary is 75 times that of Qin Xiong!

Qin Xiong's salary is 2,000 euros a week, and he roughly calculates the effect of this 75-fold difference, Lampard earns pounds in London, which is converted into a salary of more than 100,000 pounds a week.

This is the reality, people earn more in a week than Qin Xiong has accumulated in half a year from joining Ajax to March.

Qin Xiong didn't quite understand the significance of such a comparison in the media.

It wasn't until Koeman made an impassioned pre-game speech in the locker room before the game that Qin Xiong understood some of the media's intentions.

'Chelsea players are millionaires! They have money, and they earn the least players more than we earn the most! But what does that mean? Are we inferior to them? ”

The gap between the rich and the poor has always been a long-standing status quo in society.

Of course, there are epitome of this kind of problem in football.

This can easily arouse a kind of alternative "hatred of the rich" psychology of the players!

Maybe in society, when the poor ask why you can be so rich, the other party will answer with confidence: I have the ability, education, knowledge, background, connections, talent, whatever it is, the poor may end up speechless and acquiesce to the facts.

But in football, this reality will not be recognized, and even the worst team will have the opportunity to subvert the facts!

Race!

There is always suspense in the game that has not started!

Even if it is a world champion against a third-rate fish belly, who dares to say that the result will not be an earth-shattering cold?

In the case of Ajax, of course, the players know that even if they beat Chelsea, they will not make their income equal or surpass that of their opponents all at once, but under the stimulus of "I can beat you for less than you", the players will burst out with stronger fighting spirit, laugh at them with victories, and comfort themselves with idealism.

We are playing real football, we are the defenders of tradition in the laws of football development, and our strength is not a glitz built up by money.

Maybe this kind of psychology is a bit self-deceptive, because including Qin Xiong, it is difficult to say that he is not tempted by money, after all, wealth to survive in this society, and to live better, will bring countless material and vanity.

Live in a better house, drive a stylish car, wear the most extravagant and dazzling brands, and even attract more beprising stunners to spend the night with, which doesn't need any money?

F-U-C-K！

Of course it takes damn money!

But we don't have a broad boss, there is only one Abu in the world now, damn it, why did he buy Chelsea? Not Ajax?

In the midst of this realistic ideal of self-ambivalence, the Ajax players were stimulated by Koeman's words, in addition to the original pursuit of victory, but also aroused the desire to beat Chelsea even more impatiently.

Since you can't get it, then go and destroy the miè!

Let those rich people who pay more than us a month, a quarter, half a year, or even a year taste the bitterness of failure, let them not hold their heads up, let them roll back to London in disgrace!

The media discussed that the game was out of the realm of competition, and part of the fighting spirit aroused by the Ajax players when they walked out of the dressing room did not come from pure competition.

Qin Xiong and his teammates stood in the tunnel of the players, and the Chelsea players did not look at them, and they also disdained their opponents.

On the one hand, there is the grandeur of the upstarts in football, and on the other hand, the arrogance of the former heroes, and the atmosphere is very strange.

Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, in the full stands, Ajax fans are scornful of Chelsea, fans are disgusted with Chelsea's wealth, making Ajax, the "talent base" of Europe's elite clubs, more visual, become a supply market for taking, good once upon a time, when teams like Real Madrid and Milan take away talents from Ajax, fans can still comfort themselves, players leave to chase their dreams, but if they are seduced by Chelsea, he--, except for money, Is there anything else appealing?

"The first leg of the 03-04 Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin, Ajax is at home to Chelsea from England, Ajax has almost locked up the league title this season, and can now concentrate on the Champions League, Chelsea have improved in the league than before, after the new owner generously brought a large number of strong reinforcements to the team, Chelsea are firmly in the top three in the Premier League this season, although it is unlikely to compete with Arsenal for the title, but at least they look like the gap with Manchester United is not too big, This is a team that has attracted the attention of Europe, and everyone is watching the changes at Chelsea, and they are discussing whether the Russian billionaire's golden yuan offensive can shake the traditional pattern of European football, at least for now, it seems that the only team to represent the Premier League in the last eight of the Champions League is Chelsea!

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides today.

Ajax started 433.

Goalkeeper: Lobonte.

Defenders: Grigra, Heitinga, Escude, Maxwell.

Midfielders: De Jong, Galasek, Qin Xiong.

Forwards: Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder.

Chelsea started 442.

Goalkeeper: Cudicini.

Defenders: Melchiott, Terry, Gallas, Bridge.

Midfielders: Glen Shial, Lampard, Makelele, Duff.

Forwards: Hasselbaink, Crespo.

Well, the opening ceremony has been carried out, and the visiting Chelsea will kick off first, and the show is off! ”

Chelsea attacked from the right as soon as they kicked off.

When Glenschal received the ball on the flank and started to move forward, the crowd was shocked.

That's a kid who's fast!

Denmark's Golden Wings flew with the ball and sprinted on the wing, not giving Sneijder a chance to return to the defense at all, Maxwell held the inside line, wary of Glen Charles cutting inside with the ball, and as a result, Glen Charles went straight to the bottom with the ball and decisively sent a cross.

The ball flew over the dangerous area of the penalty area and landed directly on the outside of the large penalty area on the other side, where it was cleared by Grigra's header.

Ajax was terrified.

Glen Shire's speed was explosive and terrifying after the start.

But in all fairness, the quality of his cross was a bit miserable.

wasted a good opportunity for him to break through on the side, which had the effect of thunder and rain.

Qin Xiong received a pass from De Jong in the midfield, he was not in a hurry, Ajax is a team that plays as a whole, he passed the ball to his teammates step by step to improve the rhythm of the whole team, achieve tacit agreement, and enter the game.

Just like Glen Schal, although he broke through sharply, but it feels like he did not enter the game with the Chelsea generals, if the foot cross is accidental, it means that he made a mistake, if it is not accidental, it means that his side breakthrough is actually inefficient, because no matter how sharp the breakthrough, it must also contribute to the attack, if you can't send the ball to the feet of the key players who threaten the opponent's goal, break through a hundred times, ten thousand times on the wing, what's the point?

While adapting to the rhythm of the game and improving the rhythm of the whole team, Qin Xiong is also observing Chelsea's technical and tactical play.

In fact, he was a little disappointed, compared to Arsenal, he had a set of whirlwind fast play on the left, Bergkamp in the middle of the tandem, and when the flaws were really exposed, he would be grabbed by the opponent and hit to death, Chelsea did not seem to have much superb and strong technical and tactical play.

They are more traditional, flying on both wings, Duff on the left, Glen Charles on the right, and the two midfielders are typically a 6 and an 8, which is a defence, Makelele, a more attacking playmaker, and Frank Lampard.

The combination of two strikers also looks very traditional, although it is not as typical as England's one-high and fast, at least the strength of Hasselbaink, Crespo's agility, and the shadow of England with a center.

This set of technical and tactical systems cannot be said to be without power, but can only be said to lack novelty, and the style of play is on the board at a glance, step by step, and there is a lack of flexible change points for surprising success. R1152
