207 a little bit
Six watchesββ
Perhaps Koeman himself did not expect that an attacking system without a center forward would actually have an effect beyond imagination.
With Van der Vaart's containment in the shadow striker position, Qin Xiong was further liberated, allowing Qin Xiong to further unleash the talent of the playmaker, and such a space to play was not left in the last game, Qin Xiong always avoided possession of the ball for a long time in an environment where he was forced by many people.
Now, he's like a classic midfielder making waves in the midfield area, using his keen insight to undo the opponent's team's efforts!
Koeman excitedly cheered for Qin Xiong, for Pierard, for Sneijder and, of course, for Van der Vaart, the scorer!
He sees the hope of realizing his dreams and ambitions, and such a team that is not perfect, but also has a hard wound, has a chance to hit the Champions League champion, because throughout the Champions League semi-finals, no team is so strong that it is almost perfect!
The Monaco players stared at Qin Xiong in shock at the frustration, and they tacitly did not surprise Van der Vaart and Sneijder, and there was nothing to be surprised when such a traditional and common combination took place in the penalty area.
They were shocked by Qin Xiong's organizational talent, which clearly stood out from the crowd.
Be the highlight of the game and have the ability to decide the players of the game!
In that attack just now, Qin Xiong β if Van der Vaart was passed on, he would be a mediocre organizer!
If he passes on Pinard, who is covered by Van der Vaart, then he is a decent playmaker!
However, he suddenly turned the ball back and turned his attention to the other side of the penalty area at the same time as the attack, and sent the ball to Sneijder's feet with decisive precision.
He is brilliant and exceptional!
The light that bloomed in that moment was dazzling enough!
Vandervaart put his arm around Qin Xiong's shoulders as he ran. He also knew that most of the credit for this goal was on Qin Xiong. They ran along the sidelines together. Set off a wave of people in the stands.
Finally, they stood in front of the stands, and in front of them there was a small Ajax fan in the crowd, who cheered happily and held up a poster of support for Qin Xiong, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and other Ajax stars. It is crookedly written: Come on, take us to Germany!
It must be the cheering words written by this little fan himself.
"Ajax opened the scoring with captain Donny van der Vaart leading Monaco 3-2 on aggregate, and Deschamps' side were in a desperate situation, where they had to score at least two goals to turn the tables and progress to the final, which looked difficult, especially since they didn't know how to limit Ajax's attack, Qin Xiong, Sneijder, Pinard. Van der Vaart, four players with excellent technique at their feet. The offensive system they formed has a strong ability to control the ball and pass and cut, and there are few mistakes in a small area, especially Qin Xiong's flash of inspiration in command and dispatch, which can often make Ajax's offensive suddenly brighten, and even directly burst out with a fatal blow to Monaco's death! β
In the stands of the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium today, there are also scouts from many teams in Europe.
They inspect the Ajax players or the Monaco players on the spot, and of course the scouts who look at the Ajax players are the majority.
They represent a wide range of clubs, from big clubs to first-class clubs, and they don't have too much emotional fluctuation about the goals that come out of the game, but they will sensibly whisper to their colleagues and discuss the specific performance of the target in the game.
From before the game to the beginning of the game, Qin Xiong's attention was in the stadium, and it was not until he celebrated the goal that he noticed that there was a small group of Chinese fans in the stands, and he couldn't tell whether it was overseas Chinese or Chinese fans who came all the way from China, they pulled out a banner and read: Fly! Chinese Male!
If it weren't for the fact that the Chinese characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance were too conspicuous, I am afraid that Qin Xiong would not have been able to detect their existence.
After seeing that scene, Qin Xiong couldn't help but smile.
There was a warm current in his heart that slid through, and then swept through his body, and then took a deep breath, Qin Xiong walked back to the half court with a determined look in his eyes, like a new life, with unlimited power!
Monaco couldn't change anything, at 0-0 they were going to score.
At 0:1, you still have to score!
Goal goal, goal, goal!
Like a shackle clamping their thinking, before they scored goals to rewrite the score and change the overall situation, even if they knew that the current defense line was not stable, they still couldn't weaken the offense and strengthen the defense.
In the final stages of the first half, Monaco's momentum plummeted as a result of conceding a goal, and Ajax played a series of attacks to suppress their opponents.
Zikes's performance in this game looked to be a world away from the previous one, and after losing the conditions for Cisse and Bernardi to work together to limit Qin Xiong, Cisse and Benardi need to worry about Van der Vaart and the possibility of Galacek in the back.
This exposed Zixi to frequent one-on-one situations with Qin Xiong.
His successive steals and mistakes made him look like a foreigner, and his own weakness of slow speed was exploited by Qin Xiong, who didn't need to be fancy and dexterous at all to get rid of his defense, just need to stop and turn sharply and change the rhythm of the ball.
Ajax's attacking system is not as simple as Monaco thinks.
They are trying to keep an eye on Ajax's trident, Sneijder, Van der Vaart, and Pienal.
They also seemed to believe that Qin Xiong would be limited to the role of the midfielder of the organization.
Miss by a mile!
In the 40th minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the front waist line, and suddenly switched positions with Pinal, in this exchange process, Pienal took over Qin Xiong to control the ball in the front waist area, and Qin Xiong ran directly from Van der Vaart and Sneijder in the anti-offside position!
No one came to guard against Qin Xiong!
Rodriguez, Ibarra, Givert, Cisse, they almost blocked Sneijder and Van der Vaart with a 2-1 posture, but when Qin Xiong entered the hinterland of the penalty area from the middle of the two against offside, their brains were like a crash, and they didn't know who to defend Qin Xiong.
Pinar did not hesitate, picked the ball into the penalty area, and Qin Xiong ran in the direction.
Qin Xiong's anti-offside position was successful, but he was not very good at handling the ball, Pienaar's ball pass was already good, but unfortunately Qin Xiong couldn't stop the ball, he had to kick directly, but the football was still a little high.
So Qin Xiong jumped sideways directly on the left side of the small penalty area, and posed in the air in a volley position!
Ajax fans stood up one after another, and many people couldn't help but grow their mouths, looking at Qin Xiong's shooting action in the penalty area in disbelief!
They hope that Qin Xiong can score this goal, in that case, not only will the score be rewritten again, but Ajax will take a bigger lead.
What's more, because the cooperation between Qin Xiong and Pienal this time is eye-catching, and the way Qin Xiong chooses to shoot is even more dazzling!
Qin Xiong rarely tries this kind of difficult shooting, after all, he is not a striker, and his training in archery is different from that of a striker.
He can only finish with the sense of the ball.
It's a pity that the first time he used this kind of shooting in a professional game, he actually kicked the ball straight away, which was outrageous, like a clearance.
The fans in the stands let out a long breath, not disappointed, but everyone looked at each other, and then burst into applause.
Qin Xiong stood up after landing on the ground, and he shook his head.
No, it's no.
It's not strong, it's true that he's not good at this kind of difficult shooting, and this kind of shooting himself, world-class strikers may not be able to grasp it every time, he is a midfielder, his posture is very good, the effect is ugly, and he doesn't feel embarrassed.
Although his volley appeared to be out of the flow, his long-range shot just before half-time showed his prowess.
"Rome has done a meritorious service! Roma bravely blocked Qin Xiong's tricky long-range shot, almost, Ajax offensive tide, only almost able to rewrite the score, Deschamps finally breathed a sigh of relief, Monaco players need to calm down, rearrange their thoughts, from the first half after conceding the goal, their disadvantage is very obvious, Ajax failed to grasp the advantage of the final stage of the first half to expand the score, will they regret it in the second half? It will be at least 45 minutes before the answer will be revealed in this battle for the Champions League final! β
Amid the long-lasting applause and cheers of the Ajax fans, Ajax and Monaco played 1:0 in the first half, and Ajax led the opponent 3:2 on aggregate, and they walked into the dressing room together. (To be continued......)
