In the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, the match between Ajax and Arsenal was very close.

Neither team was able to create a chance inside the opposition box, but Ajax were clearly more dangerous from distance from the outside.

Arsene Wenger clenched his fists, expecting time to go a little faster!

The faster the time goes, as long as the score does not change, Ajax will definitely panic and be anxious, will attack, will mess up, and will give Arsenal a broader attacking space!

But time doesn't pass faster, and it's not a good idea for Ajax to shoot from distance so recklessly.

What if?

What if Ajax really runs shit and gets a foot wave to break the goal?

Patrick Vieira gestured to his teammates, ordered defenders to scramble outside the box to be more aggressive, and more ferocious!

If you can't expose the space in the box for Ajax to play behind the ball, that's the only way to limit Ajax.

They are very secretive about Qin Xiong's through ball skills, and they must not press the back line lightly.

Just before half-time, Thierry Henry cut inside the box after breaking through the baseline and completed a beautiful one-two with Ljungberg, but his shot was too narrow and ended up with a close-range volley that hit the side-netting.

In stoppage time, Ajax won a free-kick on the left side of the pitch and Lauren brought Sneijder to the ground before he could receive it.

Ajax's approach to free-kicks has been deliberately targeted.

Facing the left side of the goal, it was given to Sneijder, on the right side, it was Van der Vaart, and in the middle, it was handed to Qin Xiong.

Sneijder's free-kick was fired into an anti-aircraft gun.

After this free-kick attack. The first half ended.

"0:0 in the first half, Arsenal 1:1 Ajax on aggregate, both teams played conservatively in the first half and failed to create very good scoring opportunities, but Ajax led Arsenal in terms of shots and goals. It looks like Arsenal are planning to defend to win a ticket to the last eight of the Champions League. ”

The players returned to the dressing room and Koeman encouraged his players to play better in the second half, with no tactical changes, and he always believed in the current Ajax style, which is the most balanced attacking and defensive style.

Moreover, Ajax did have chances to score, with two or three long-range shots. If it weren't for Lehmann's outstanding performance, if he was an ordinary goalkeeper, he would definitely not be able to recover.

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

Neither Ajax nor Arsenal have changed their attacking and defensive stances, and the stalemate has remained on the pitch.

Qin Xiong is still actively creating opportunities for the team, but with the improvement of Arsenal's interception in the central midfield. The aggressiveness of the action has increased, and Ajax has been awarded more and more free-kicks.

In the 51st minute, Ibrahimovic was dragged by Silva with his back and almost fell to the ground, and the referee ruled that Arsenal had committed a foul, and the home fans were dissatisfied, believing that the referee's penalty scale was too harsh.

Of course, British fans, who are accustomed to the loose penalty scale of the Premier League, naturally have a foul on this seemingly obvious foul. But it is not out of the ordinary, the action habitually "turns a blind eye".

Qin Xiong stood in front of the free kick, and after the opponent set up the human wall, he took a deep breath. Run-up, full power, shot!

The football that he blasted out hit Lauren's body and popped up, although Lauren protected his chest with his arms, he still fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard, and Qin Xiong's shot was too powerful.

Sneijder raised his hand to signal Lauren's handball. Qin Xiong didn't think it was a handball, so he seemed very calm. Immediately go on the defensive.

Lauren was lying on the ground and Galasek kicked the ball off the touchline in desperation. Then after waiting almost 30 seconds, Lauren got back up and the referee made sure he was okay before restarting the game.

Arsenal were athletic in their sportsmanship to return possession to Ajax.

After another three minutes, Vieira tripped Van der Vaart while intercepting it, and the referee awarded Ajax another free-kick.

Van der Vaart took the penalty himself, and he fired a free-kick over the top of the wall, and he wanted to hit a near corner, but the ball spun too much and flew off the bottom line less than half a metre off the near post.

The Ajax fans in the away stands were complicated, nervous, excited, expectant, and still enthusiastic about cheering for the team.

Arsene Wenger was a little apprehensive on the sidelines.

Why? Why? Why?

Why isn't Ajax messed up?

Still not pressing on the offense?

There is almost half an hour left.

It's not like you're going to be able to create a zào opportunity just because you press the attack!

It takes many, several times of hard work to be able to score a goal.

Ajax, attack, attack, attack!

Give Arsenal a chance to kill the game, knock Ajax into the abyss, step on your corpses and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

Although Ajax is young, most of these players, except for Qin Xiong, have experienced the baptism of the Champions League last season.

Even like Sneijder, who has been corrected this season, although he has no experience in key Champions League battles, he already has a place in the Dutch national team and has the experience of playing, which is also a very high-level and high-pressure game.

And what about Qin Xiong?

He is also in a calm mind.

From an early age, he was relied on by his peers, and he knew what role he should play in the team and what kind of mentality he used to face the game.

I've been very stable since I was a child, what do you call me messy?

Even if the time is getting shorter and smaller, Ajax organises the attack in an orderly manner and uses their planned strategy to attack the Arsenal goal, which in itself represents the maturity of their temperament and the improvement of their psychological quality.

In the 64th minute, Ibrahimovic passed the ball back to Qin Xiong in the middle, Qin Xiong took the opportunity to step forward, he saw the hope of passing Vieira, but at the same time as the football passed past Vieira, Vieira was already focused on Ibrahimovic, and his body gravity could not keep up at this time, so he stretched out his foot to block Qin Xiong's advance, and deliberately hit Qin Xiong's body with his arm.

This time, Qin Xiong fell to the ground, and he didn't get up immediately, he felt that his arm seemed to be falling apart, and he needed to slow down.

As he gritted his teeth on the ground with his arms folded to endure the pain, Ibrahimovic rushed over and pressed the ball to the spot where Vieira had fouled, and the referee had already blown the whistle.

After setting up the football, Yibu patted Qin Xiong's shoulder and asked sternly, "How is it?" Is it okay? ”

Qin Xiong gritted his teeth and grinned, his expression was stubborn and hideous, and he replied, "It's okay, it'll be fine right away." ”

He got back to his feet and moved his shoulders, feeling like he had almost dislocated.

After feeling okay after several activities in a row, Qin Xiong stood in front of the football, raised his leg to make a quick gesture, Silva immediately stretched out his foot in front of him to block, Qin Xiong did not kick the ball out, stretched out his hand to signal the referee: The opponent is not far enough!

The referee pointed to Silva to warn the opposition and then told the Arsenal players to retreat.

Lehmann commanded his teammates to set up the wall, then moved to stand near the far post, looking solemn and ready to make a save.

Ajax's teammates quickly stood up, waiting in the penalty area to shoot in the chaos, controlling the periphery of the penalty area to prepare for a second attack, and Galasek next to Qin Xiong, as a possible short pass to confuse the opponent's defensive attention.

Qin Xiong's eyes stared at Arsenal's goal with extremely cold eyes, and at this moment, Highbury booed.

Arsenal fans are probably not used to seeing Qin Xiong's behavior of being fouled by Vieira but falling, and the concept of English football is to bravely collide and confront.

It is also possible to use boos to interfere with Qin Xiong.

Ajax fans were very quiet in the stands of the visiting team, watching Qin Xiong nervously and expectantly.

This is a talented new star that Ajax is so fond of chasing and even cultivating!

He began to run, standing still with his feet propped up, his body slightly tilted, his right foot straight, and the strength of his leg swing.

Bang!

The soccer ball flew up at a rapid pace, and after leaving the ground, it rose diagonally in an almost straight line, moving forward!

The Arsenal wall jumped, and the direction in which the ball flew was still Lauren's.

This time, though, Lauren seemed to be late for the jump, bouncing to the limit when the ball flew over his head.

Lehmann was horrified when he saw the direction in which the ball was flying.

He quickly moved towards the right side of the goal, and when the ball passed over the wall, there was a sudden change in the trajectory of a rapid fall!

Lyman gritted his teeth and flew to the right.

The German goalkeeper, who had already made at least two world-class saves in the game, closed his eyes in despair as he made the save.

He knew that when it came time to kick and pounce, it was too late!

The football, which fell sharply and fell into the Arsenal goal!

The soccer ball that was entangled with the net inside the goal and swirled changed Highbury! (To be continued) R580
