Although Koeman's defeat of Van der Vaart in this crucial battle was considered by most to be a definite failure in favour of the inexperienced Sneijder, which could well be a turning point in the quarter-finals. But in fact, Ajax, who changed the formation to 4-2-3-1, withstood Fiorentina's attack after the game started, and launched several quick counterattacks under the instigation of Sneijder and almost formed a goal, which made Fiorentina break out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, as I thought, Sneijder is a better kid than Van der Vaart to command this team." Seeing Heynckes' dignified appearance on the sidelines, Coman couldn't help but be proud of his decision, "Although Van der Vaart is stronger than Sneijder in terms of ability, he is only more threatening in scoring and impact, and his organizational skills are relatively poor." Although Sneijder is not as good as Van der Vaart in scoring ability and imagination, he can control the team's tempo and mobilize the whole team more reasonably. ”

However, although Koeman's change of tactics caught Fiorentina off guard, his cleverness only caused some problems for the Purple Lilies in the early stages of the game. Over time, the Fiorentina players, accustomed to Sneijder's style of play, began to defend him in a targeted manner, such as strengthening their physical confrontations, forcing him to make mistakes, or simply cutting off the ball at his feet.

After all, Sneijder is only a young seedling under the age of 19, and his body is not yet fully mature, and it is normal for him to make mistakes and concede goals when facing the pressure of the likes of Makelele and Ballack. What's more, in terms of overall strength, Fiorentina is also much stronger than this Ajax team, and it is impossible for a single Sneijder who has not yet matured to make up for this gap.

"I really don't know what this guy Koeman is thinking." Looking at Sneijder, who was embarrassed under the care of Makelele and Ballack and others, and had to rely on his foot skills to flicker around in the encirclement, Zhuang Mingge shook his head in his heart and thought, "Although Sneijder is indeed more suitable as a midfield playmaker than Van der Vaart, and the linkage with Ibrahimovic is better, there is no need for him to put Van der Vaart on the bench for this reason." If Van der Vaart were moved to the wing and made a cameo on the left wing, the pressure on Fiorentina's backline would be even greater. After all, Maxwell and Pasanen can be considered offensive and defensive, but they are not as capable as Van der Vaart, and their role is quite limited. ”

"But that's fine, without Van der Vaart, Ajax has one less point of threat and Fiorentina has a lot more chance of winning this game." Thinking of this, Zhuang Mingge's face couldn't help but be full of anticipation. Although Fiorentina have lifted the Big Ears Cup five times since Zhuang Mingge took over, he has never been satisfied with this, always hoping to see the team reach the top of Europe again.

At this time, Ajax's other commander on the pitch, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, stepped up to take over the command from Sneijder and helped the team stabilize their position, dissuading the Fiorentina players from taking advantage of the situation. However, despite this, Ajax's loss of ground in midfield is still a frustrating fact, and this has naturally caused them a lot of problems.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Carlos broke through the defense of Van der Meyde and Trabelsi in succession with the cooperation of Pirlo and Vincent and cut into the penalty area.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of falling behind, the Ajax players did not panic or rush to recover the score, but continued to play according to the pre-match tactics under the command of Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, as if Vieri's goal had not happened at all.

'Ajax are really lucky to have three talented and mature players at the same time, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Ibrahimovic. Seeing such a calm performance of the Ajax players, Karin couldn't help but admire, "If nothing else, in time, these three will become the most important star players in international football." ”

"Now isn't the time to sigh about that, is it?" Zhuang Mingge, who found that the game did not have a one-sided trend, said with a wry smile that Ajax's tenacity in this game was indeed beyond his expectations, "I thought that they would mess up after conceding the goal, so as to give us a chance, but I didn't expect these guys to be so powerful at a young age and come out of the shadow of losing the ball so quickly." And in terms of tactical execution, it is not at all clear that this is a team dominated by young players. ”

Sure enough, shortly after the game entered the second half, Ajax equalized the score in an attack - Ibrahimovic shook continuously on the left side of the penalty area, attracted Nesta and Zambrotta to the front and then crossed back to the middle, and the follow-up Sneijder raised his right foot and duffled the ball to the outflanked Pinard, who volleyed into the far corner of the goal on the line of the penalty area to rewrite the score to a 1-1 draw!

After Pienaar scored the equaliser for Ajax, both players had some good chances to score in the ensuing period, but sadly, neither of them was able to capitalise on those chances and turn them into goals.

However, just as the Ajax were preparing for extra time, substitute Inzaghi came on for Diego Milito to send the visitors into the abyss with a goal - in the first minute of stoppage time, Ballack's heavy bombardment from the edge of the box was punched out by Lobont, and Milito, who was ambushed in the box, got the chance before Lugano cleared it with a big kick and stabbed the ball into the Ajax goal!

In this way, with Inzaghi's golden goal, Fiorentina, who were playing at home, finally defeated Ajax 2-1 in the second leg of the Champions Cup quarterfinals and eliminated the Dutch giants!

At this time, no one could have predicted that this would be the last season of Ajax, a club with a long history and a glorious past, except for Zhuang Mingge himself. Since then, although Ajax has also cultivated well-known stars such as Vermaelen and Vertonghen, there has been no breakthrough in team glory and record, at most they have become familiar with the Champions Cup, and have never reached the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup or beyond.
