199 Shocked after paying attention

Five more! ――

When Van der Vaart cut across from the right side into the middle of the penalty area and received Qin Xiong's pass, this time Ajax's attack played a very good effect.

At the same time, he is also suing Qin Xiong that his initiative to change is correct.

Abandon the middle and focus on the wings.

It is difficult to say that Ajax is fighting against Monaco's winger flow with a winger flow, because Ajax's use of wingers is more deviant, and the role change in the forward line, the tactical foundation is still based on the all-attacking and all-defensive approach that Dutch football is proud of, and the flexible switching of roles and positions.

Van der Vaart moved from the winger position to the shadow striker position, and also changed from winger to shadow killer.

Ibrahimovic's left-to-right run in the box kept centre-backs Rodriguez and Givit close together, and there was nothing wrong with their choice, but the mistake was that the two's running lines were too obvious under Ibrahimovic's lead.

This gave Van der Vaart the initiative to further develop the attack.

The Dutch golden boy cut into the middle from the right, controlled the ball and then slid into the left side of the penalty area, exactly in the opposite direction of Ibrahimovic's run.

This made Van der Vaart easily into the box, diagonally unmarked at goal, and had a good chance to shoot from the feet.

Van der Vaart kicked the ball into the near post, and the Italian goalkeeper Roma abandoned the goal before he expanded his defensive area, raising his hand to block the ball from the bottom line when the ball flew into the small penalty area, which did not look like a standard save, it was completely subconsciously reaching out to block, which was lucky. Rome did it. He denied Van der Vaart's threatening shot!

'Ajax missed a great chance to score. Van der Vaart's movement and dribbling broke through without any problems, and it could even be called perfect, but unfortunately the shot did not choose a good angle, and Monaco escaped! ”

Deschamps' heartstrings fluttered, and Ajax, who had been suppressed, suddenly burst out with a strong counterattack.

The half-time blockade failed!

He didn't expect that Qin Xiong, the core of the Ajax midfield, would respond so quickly, and very decisively did not continue to try other offensive methods in the middle, and used speed to drive the attack after pulling the side, which was very effective!

After 3 minutes. Monaco's offensive is back, Ajax pays more attention to the help defense of the back waist to the ribs of the penalty area, focusing on limiting the threat of the opponent's winger cutting inside, but the middle defense Qin Xiong seems to be alone, he is not a pure defensive back, he can do organizational tasks in the back area, with the defensive back for joint defense, but if he acts as a frontal barrier to resist the opponent's attack, this is a bit difficult.

In terms of defensive skills alone, he is no better than De Jong. It may only be more prominent in the sense of the overall situation, but there is no technology as a foundation. No matter how good the consciousness is, it's useless, just like if the striker's shooting skills are rotten, then no matter how good the running awareness is, no matter how strong the ability to seize opportunities, what's the use? If you can't shoot at goal, you'll just squander your chance.

Zikes' long-range shot from the edge of the box narrowly missed the Ajax goal, but Lobonte made a world-class save to keep them away.

Ajax's main flank in the counterattack became more and more effective, and when the opponent's three midfielders began to take the initiative to pull the side when facing the transition between attack and defense, Qin Xiong suddenly went straight to the middle in the 29th minute to subvert all their predictions of Ajax's attacking methods.

Qin Xiong is not a rigid offensive organizer, and he is not effective in playing on the side and stumbling on the side with the opponent.

When he sees that Ibrahimovic has more room to respond when he retreats, he decisively goes straight to the foot and makes a long pass.

Ibrahimovic played a one-two with Van der Vaart, and in the box, Ibrahimovic flicked past Givet with deft footwork, but fired wide from a tight angle.

The fans in the stands were constantly cheering on the team.

This passionate game has turned into a tug-of-war, with the two sides going back and forth and attacking each other.

In the 36th minute of the first half, De Jong viciously broke the ball from Roten's feet to give Ajax a better chance for a quick attack.

Qin Xiong quickly set the edge and rushed forward along the right side.

He took Frenkie de Jong's pass and raced forward on the flank, making a one-two with Van der Vaart up front to break through Patrice Evra's defence with ease.

On the side of the front, Qin Xiong did not waste time, the opponent's three midfielders have returned to the front of the penalty area, if he dribbles inside, it will give the opponent enough time to form more defenders in the penalty area and build a tighter defense.

A fast attack against time!

Ibrahimovic's starting position is closer to the back point of the penalty area, he has Rodriguez next to him to follow the defense, Givit is nervously watching Qin Xiong's side, and at the same time using his body to block Ibrahimovic, but his attention is mostly attracted by Qin Xiong, no way, Qin Xiong has a chance to cut inside, Givit must be ready to rush up and intercept at any time.

At that moment, Ibrahimovic suddenly activated, rushing forward from the back of the penalty area, and as soon as he started, he shook off Rodriguez and passed him by Givet when he felt caught off guard.

At the same time, Qin Xiong crossed from the side, and a quick and fast half-high ball was sent.

The ball landed at the front of the penalty area, near the top corner of the small penalty area.

Ibrahimovic hurried to the landing point, without stopping the ball, without any obvious leg swing, he shot directly with the arch of his foot, causing the football to refract and fly to the inside of the near post!

Goalkeeper Roma was ill-prepared for the goal, he was watching Ibrahimovic's position, but when Ibrahimovic took the initiative to run from the back post to the front post, he was passive and underprepared for the shot.

His flutter was clearly not using all his strength, and he couldn't exert all his strength, so he jumped and fluttered in a hurry, reaching for the football with one palm, and it looked like he didn't have much jumping ability, and the outstretched palm was a beat slower.

Football hits the net!

When Ibu saw the football fly into the goal, he ran in the direction where Qin Xiong was with a restrained and cold expression, reaching out and pointing at Qin Xiong along the way.

When the two met, Yi Bu smiled, and Qin Xiong also smiled, and the two raised their hands and high-fived.

That's exactly what they've been doing in preparation for this game, with Ibrahimovic breaking free in the box and team-mates delivering a clever pass into the open space.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic equalizes for Ajax! Assist from Qin Xiong's cross from the wing! Simple and effective coordination, Ajax's counterattack played a whirlwind speed, Qin Xiong took the ball straight forward from the side of the backfield, when there was no one in front, he would try to kick the ball far away to catch up at full speed, a lot of way, because he ensured that he controlled the ball less and sprinted more in the counterattack most of the time, so that the midfielders of Monaco also looked pale and powerless, after making a one-two cooperation with Van der Vaart tacitly, Evra's defense area was lost, and Qin Xiong had a chance to cut inside on the side, But he trusted his team-mates more, he comfortably sent the ball to the area where Ibrahimovic was running, and then watched his team-mates score, and they celebrated together! 1:1, Ajax got the away goal, Monaco needs to work harder at home, otherwise this score is very dangerous, go to Amsterdam, Ajax will not miss the ticket to the final! ”

Deschamps' face was solemn, and he began to make on-the-spot adjustments.

The midfield defensive plan made before the game, and the deployment made against Qin Xiong's creative power, were completely ruined by Qin Xiong after changing the direction of the main attack on the spot.

If every time Ajax gets a quick break from the wing, and Monaco's central defenders run straight back and can't support the inside of the box, then Monaco's defence will be dangerous!

He had to make adjustments to limit Ajax's fast attack on the wing.

In this kind of fast attack, no matter which side Qin Xiong goes, as long as he has enough space to cooperate with Sneijder or Van der Vaart, then Monaco's fullback defense will be defeated without suspense!

The midfielders must help defend the wings, and they can't be so aggressive to press in the midfield, to ensure that when dealing with Ajax's fast attack, at least the starting position ensures that even if they can't help defend the wings, they must be able to push the attack into the Monaco penalty area when Ajax advances the attack, and the midfielders will definitely retreat to the penalty area to compress the space!

Deschamps was still shocked.

He is not Arsene Wenger, he didn't pay attention to Qin Xiong until the knockout rounds, and he is not Ranieri, thinking that having a Makelele or the versatile Frank Lampard to form a defence or a half at the back can limit Ajax's attack.

He attached great importance to Qin Xiong and was very vigilant, but he was still shocked.

Young Qin Xiong, his thinking on the court changed too quickly!

With 1/4 of the game not finished, he has changed the team's attacking strategy and effectively helped Ajax turn the situation around little by little! (To be continued......) R1292
