Arsenal penetrated Ajax's goal for the second time, statistically, not counting Qin Xiong's assist, but he instigated this attack, and when his teammates went to celebrate the goal, Qin Xiong turned and walked back to the half, and then stood on the ground towards Ajax's goal, looking calm.

The mood must not be uncomfortable, but it is a little complicated, just like Sneijder, who passed by him without saying a word, his mood must be extremely complicated.

The comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side and were invincible, how could their mood be as calm as stagnant water when they saw each other at this time?

Blind's expression showed a hint of dejection, and any slight mistake would change the situation of the game.

What's more, Ajax's left wing defense is a sinkhole, and without Maxwell, it is not unusual for this to be broken by Arsenal, and even in the league, it will be used by many aggressive opponents.

Let's defend!

Even though Ajax is the flag bearer of Dutch attacking football, it is really not to the point of humiliating itself.

Arsenal is obviously playing defensive counterattacks away from home, even though Arsenal's lineup also has hidden dangers, and it is a fact that the strength has been weakened, but Eboue, Flamini, and Sendros are at least doing their best to defend well, and they have a certain strength as a basis.

It can be said that Arsenal only need to put in three or four players on the counter-attack to kill Ajax.

Just like Lindbergh who was eaten hard by Qin Xiong with speed in the counterattack, how can Blinder blame Lindbergh?

Speed, acceleration, explosiveness, just inferior to the other party. This is the gap in hard power. No way. It's not something that can be made up for by cheering up in a few words and then taking out the true colors of a man to fight!

If this can make up for it, then there will be no superstars in world football, and there will be no masters.

Blind put Heitinga, who had a minor injury, on the line, and he came on to replace the inactive Babel to add a defensive force to Ajax, Frenkie de Jong returned to the back line, and Heitinga played at centre-back.

Arsene Wenger was satisfied.

Ajax's attack is very threatening, but it is only thunder and rain. Now that his opponents were on the defence again, he reciprocated with Hleb for Pire and Van Persie for Henry.

The game was abruptly downgraded after Arsenal had a two-goal lead, with Ajax weakening their attack and Arsenal tightening their control.

Sneijder did his best to create chances for Huntelaar with the remainder of the game, but Huntelaar struggled to play under the siege of Arsenal's backline, and he did not yet have the strength to come and go in the crowd under the Premier League's ferocious close-up pressing.

Ajax's attacks have been aborted again and again. Tough attempts to threaten Arsenal's goal, and they sensibly failed to expose the holes in the defence.

Qin Xiong didn't show mercy to Ajax's men. However, after Arsenal replaced Henry and Pire, the attacking strength did decline, and the team led by two goals, ensuring victory and avoiding excessive consumption is also the team's established strategy.

When the full-time whistle blew, the Ajax players stood on the pitch with a look of frustration.

Although Ajax and Arsenal are the favourites to qualify from this group.

However, Ajax's first two group stage games have drawn one and lost one, which has made Ajax's prospects of qualification start to worry, which is an irrevocable fact.

Qin Xiong and Sneijder came together, and the two put their arms around each other's shoulders and chatted.

Sneijder said helplessly: "It's okay now, the Ajax group is in third place." ”

Qin Xiong smiled: "There are still four games, it's not good to be pessimistic too early." ”

"yes, there's four games left, and one more to go to Highbury."

"That's the last round, do you want to pin your fate on the last game?"

Snead shook his head with a smile, suddenly bumped Qin Xiong's ribs, and whispered, "This reminds me of something. ”

"What?"

"One season, we had a bad start to the group stage."

Qin Xiong's eyes were in a trance, he knew which season Sneijder was talking about, it was really the season they conquered Europe together for Ajax.

Ajax had a very poor start to the group stage and did not complete the comeback until the end to advance to the knockout rounds.

"Heh, it looks like Ajax were eliminated in the group stage last season."

Qin Xiong didn't open the pot, and Snead slapped his arm hard, although it was hard, it was towards the muscles on Qin Xiong's arm.

"It's a shame not to mention last season."

Ajax set the myth of youth and the humiliating record of the reigning Champions League champions being eliminated in the group stage.

Qin Xiong smiled and exchanged jerseys with Sneijder before parting, and he walked to the sidelines of the pitch with his Ajax jersey on his shoulders to thank his teammates for their support from afar.

After stepping off the pitch and into the players' tunnel, there were quite a few reporters waiting for him in the mixed interview area.

When asked by a Dutch reporter about his mood for scoring Ajax, he replied calmly: "I play for Arsenal now, it's my job to help the team score and win games, I have a special affection for Ajax, I just want time to go faster at the moment of the goal, I don't want to be the focus." ”

A Chinese journalist asked such a question.

'After helping Arsenal to the league and FA Cup double last season and becoming the European assist leader, you have been even more impressive this season than last season, do you think you will get more votes for the annual Ballon d'Or in two months' time than last year? Last year you were the eighth place in the Golden Globe Awards. ”

Qin Xiong took a deep breath, for some reason, when the reporter asked about the Golden Globe Awards, he felt a little nervous, maybe excited, he didn't have time to distinguish emotions.

After sorting out his thoughts, he said calmly: "The Ballon d'Or is the highest individual honor, of course I hope to be recognized by the world in this selection, whether it will be improved compared to last year, I don't know, and I'm not sure, because European football is very big, there are many star players, and there are players who perform well in any league, it depends on the eyes of the judges, I don't know, but I look forward to my improvement." ”

Before leaving Amsterdam, Qin Xiong had a brief gathering with Sylvia, and then he joined the team and boarded the plane back to England.

He couldn't sleep, thinking about the Golden Globes.

He is self-aware, he can't win the Ballon d'Or this year, if nothing else, there is no accurate conclusion in the eyes of the outside world just as to which is more important between him and Henry in the team, not to mention that Henry has never won the Ballon d'Or, he? It's even more impossible.

And Arsenal don't seem to have the ability to produce Mr. Golden Ball.

The Premier League is not the number one league in the world, and the convincing power of conquering the Premier League is not enough, Arsenal has not conquered Europe, so naturally the attention has always been inferior to those giants with Champions League heritage.

However, Qin Xiong still secretly made up his mind that he would work hard to reach the throne of the highest personal honor in his career! (To be continued......)
