Chapter 227: It's not that Ajax is too weak, it's that Arsenal is too strong!

"The ball went in !!"

"Just five minutes into the game, Leicester scored a goal!"

"It's Jamie ~~~ Vardy who scored the goal!"

Looking at the Blue Fox Nine who opened their arms and rushed to the away team's stands to celebrate, tens of thousands of home fans at the Amsterdam Arena were suddenly stunned.

What happened to the kidneys?

Why did you concede the ball?!

Less than five minutes into the game, Cambiaso made an interception in midfield and then passed the ball to Ling Feng without hesitation.

The latter, after turning, sent an outside instep plug for the first time, directly penetrating the entire Ajax defense.

And Vardy, who is standing parallel to the central defender, is blessed to make diagonal insertions.

The two seem to have a heart-to-heart connection, and the timing of the run is just right, no more, no less.

Facing the goalkeeper single-handedly, Vardy blasted the ball directly into the net!

With one pass and one shot, Leicester City scored the first goal of the European knockout round after decades!

In the first match of the Europa League knockout round, they came to the away side again, or faced the former European champions and the current Eredivisie hegemon, they were also a little nervous.

Before the game, Pearson mainly gave the players to reduce the pressure, let them go up and play well, and don't think too much about the rest.

With the manager's relief, from the start of the game, the Leicester City players quickly got into the game and wanted to take the lead on the road.

After all, the knockout rounds of the Europa League are played over two legs.

If they can score valuable goals away from home, they will be more relaxed when they return to home.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Ajax, known as the "Dutch overlord", was so vulnerable!

Looking at the unexpected situation before the game, De Boer, the Dutch celebrity and Ajax coach who was dressed in a suit on the sidelines, was holding his hands to his chest and frowning.

Although Leicester City has some knowledge of the dark horse performance this season, it has also made very detailed preparations.

However, he never expected that the opponent would score in their home stadium so easily!

Could it be that the gap between the Premier League and the Eredivisie is so big?!

On the other side, watching his team press the Eredivisie champion to the ground and rub wildly, Pearson couldn't help muttering in his heart:

Well?

Why is this Ajax so dish?!

In the Eredivisie, Ajax are a veritable giants and hegemons, with only PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord having the strength to do so.

In most of the Eredivisie games, Ajax also adopted an attacking tactical style of play.

Only they pressed their opponents to attack, and no one else pressed them.

Therefore, in this game, occupying the advantage of the home field, they naturally hope to end the suspense of promotion at home.

However, Leicester City's tactical posture of pressing high and attacking with all their might caught them off guard.

Coupled with the lack of mental concentration of the defenders, they were pierced by a concise counterattack from Leicester City.

Well. Definitely!

We are the strongest team in the Netherlands!

We have to show momentum!

After thinking about this, Ajax's entire formation pressed forward even more under the wave of De Boer's big hand.

He plans to let these British Yankees see the original Dutch authentic all-out attack and defense!

However, this is exactly what Leicester City wants!

Yo, fight us?

Then let you see the offensive firepower of the Premier League!

Next, the home team fans in the stands did not see the scene of the team cheering up and setting off a counterattack.

Instead, Leicester City, wearing the away brown jersey, directly reversed the away team and pressed the home team Ajax in the half to attack wildly!

Within fifteen minutes, Leicester City had 60 per cent possession.

The number of shots on goal reached four!

Almost every wave of attacks ended in a shot.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in front of Ajax's goal.

Even the narrator exclaimed:

'Leicester were in complete control of the tempo on the pitch!'

And as the game progresses, the Foxes will be surprised to find that compared to Arsenal, this Ajax team is not their opponent at all!

Originally, the last game lost to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium made Leicester City a little depressed.

Now, finding that their opponents are not as strong as they imagined, they finally come to their senses.

Eredivisie champions, that's it?

It turns out that it's not that Ajax is too vegetable, it's that Arsenal is too strong!

For a while, the Blue Foxes regained their confidence and played more easily on the field.

In the face of Leicester City's fierce offensive, the young people of Ajax have also undergone a huge change in their hearts.

What's the situation?

Is this the strength of fourth place in the Premier League?!

With confidence and morale at stake, Leicester City once again seized the opportunity:

In the 34th minute of the game, Ajax's positional attack was fruitless, and finally captain Klaassen hit Hut's body with a long-range shot, and rebounded to the feet of "drinking brother" Drinkwater.

"Brother Drinking Water" did not hesitate, and after looking up to observe, he directly sent a long pass and found Mahrez on the right.

And the opponent's left back firmly followed Mahrez without delay, and directly hit the wall with Ling Feng, who came to respond, and directly dribbled the ball to the huge gap on the right side of the front field.

Then, when he cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, Mahrez made a feint with his feet and shot from distance, tricking the central defender into raising his leg to block, and then suddenly sent a comfortable diagonal kick to the ground.

The ball passed right past centre-back Feltman and went straight to no man's land at the back of goal.

Lingard, who followed up from the wing, didn't stop the ball, swung his left leg and swept the ball down the middle.

Ling Feng, who was inserted in the back, was like a bolt of lightning, slapped his horse and rushed to the net, and easily smashed the ball into the net!

Two to zero!

After scoring the goal, Ling Feng also ran to the stands where the away team's fans were, and his steps were staggered.

I saw him raise his head and open his arms. Like a king who reigns over the world, he accepts the top worship of the visiting team's fans.

And the thousands of Blue Fox fans who accompanied the team also cooperated very well while waving scarves and flags in their hands while shouting his name!

"Ling Feng!"

"Ling Feng!!"

"Lingfeng !!"

This is the first time that the Blue Foxes 7 have shown their own exclusive celebration on the stage of the Europa League.

And this extremely domineering action will definitely be deeply engraved in the hearts of tens of thousands of Ajax fans at the scene, and it will not be able to dissipate for a long time.

Is this the strength of Europe's golden boy?!

。。。

With Ling Feng scoring his third goal in the Europa League, Leicester City already have a two-goal lead at the Amsterdam Stadium.

Looking at Ling Feng's celebratory figure, David Klaassen, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey, was

In this Ajax team, it is the absolute core of the midfield.

He is the quintessential number 10, the playmaker of the front court.

Klassen's technical characteristics are actually somewhat similar to Ling Feng, who has just debuted.

Even his scoring ability is a little stronger than the previous Ling Feng.

Because he often opened the scoring for the team, he was also nicknamed "Mr. 1-0" by many fans.

However, it was before and it is now now.

Compared with Ling Feng today, he is more than one grade behind.

Whether it's vision, passing accuracy, creativity, speed, breaking, defending.

However, he is already the best of the Ajax squad with lackluster talent.

In other words, as long as Klaassen is pinched, Ajax's attack will come to a standstill.

As a result, Pearson arranged for Cambiaso to keep an eye on him.

As he got older, "Commander Kan's" physical fitness and confrontation declined significantly.

However, experience and consciousness do not disappear!

You must know that this bald brother is at his peak, but he can play the main role in Real Madrid and Inter!

Under Cambiaso's tight defence, Claassen in the middle could not link up Ajax's attack at all.

This is also a big reason why Ajax's attack is not threatening!

After the break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but the situation did not change in the slightest.

Leicester remain firmly in control of the game.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Riyad Mahrez was brought down on the right side of the field to win a well-placed set-piece.

Ling Feng took the penalty and passed the ball into the penalty area, and Hute, who jumped up, shook his head, and the ball changed its trajectory and flew straight to the back of the goal.

Lingard, who was unguarded, subconsciously stretched out his leg and kicked the ball into the goal!

Since having Ling Feng as a super passer, coupled with the designed tactical arrangement, Leicester City's set-piece goals have skyrocketed!

Whether it's a direct header from the centre-back, or a cross to the back post, it's very threatening.

After the score came to 0-3, many Ajax fans couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave the stadium early.

As the Eredivisie champions, the team's performance was so disappointing!

However, most fans still choose to fight side by side with the team when it encounters difficulties!

The cheering and cheering in the stands still resounded throughout the stadium.

And the young people of Ajax did not give up, but continued to run non-stop on the field.

It's a pity that under Pearson's substitution adjustment, Leicester City's formation has become a 451 focusing on defensive counterattacks.

Coupled with the rush of mentality, every Ajax player wants to use their personal dribbling skills to create a threat after getting the ball, but they can't play an effective game.

If it weren't for Pearson feeling that the overall situation had been decided, and he was afraid that the main force would be injured, he replaced Ling Feng and Mahrez at the 70th minute.

Otherwise, they have a good chance of scoring one or two more goals.

It is worth mentioning that until the 85th minute of the game, Maguire also replaced captain Morgan and made his Europa League debut for Leicester City.

It was also the European debut of his career!

Although he didn't get a lot of playing time, even after the game, his underwear didn't get wet.

However, Maguire still sighed in his heart.

In just one year, he first made a triple jump from the League One team to the Premier League.

In retrospect, he tried his best for three years in a row, but he couldn't help Sheffield United from League One to the Championship.

And now, after moving to Hull City and then on loan at Leicester City, he has the opportunity to make his debut on the Europa League stage!

This can't help but make Maguire start to think:

Is this what people often say about choice over effort?

Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.

Leicester City, who returned to the knockout round of European competition after many years, defeated Eredivisie champions Ajax away with a clean victory.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Even the most loyal Blue Fox fans did not expect that their team would be able to give their opponents a 0-3 at Ajax's home stadium!

And, judging by the game scenes, it's almost a crushing game!

With three goals in hand, Leicester City's chances of advancing to the next round of the Europa League are very high.

Leicester's local newspaper The Mercury even typed the headline very arrogantly on the cover of the next day's newspaper:

"Europa League round of 16!"

In the eyes of many Leicester City fans, the team has locked a place in the round of 16 of the Europa League in advance!

You know, they've never lost at home this season!

It is worth mentioning that among the four clubs representing England in the Europa League, Liverpool, Everton and Leicester City all won the first leg.

Only Tottenham and Fiorentina drew their match.

And many Leicester City fans also came to Tottenham's official website and ridiculed Tottenham for embarrassing the Premier League in European competition.

Some fans also specially commented:

"Your Harry is just a flash in the pan, not as good as Ling Feng at all!"

"Where's your Harry? Why not score goals? ”

This wave of yin and yang weirdness also triggered the refutation and response of Tottenham fans.

And the reason why Blue Fox fans do this is actually for a reason.

Some time ago, due to Tottenham's rising star Harry Kane this season, nearly twenty goals were scored in all competitions.

In particular, in the 5-3 win over Chelsea, Kane contributed two goals and one assist to a dominant performance, single-handedly leading the team to a toppling of the table.

After that, many Tottenham fans felt that Kane was Tottenham's forward hope, and even the media gave him nicknames such as "White Hart Lane Hurricane" and "New Shearer".

Originally, there was a good seedling in his own team, and the fans were so happy that they were bubbling, and it was normal to praise it.

However, some fans are too confident and think that Kane is better than Ling Feng!

Most importantly, when they talk about how good Kane is, they always like to compare Ling Feng with him.

One moment he said that Kane's personal ability was stronger than Ling Feng, and another time he said that Kane was more comprehensive than Ling Feng.

As everyone knows, the two are fundamentally different positions, with different roles and responsibilities on the field, and there is no comparison at all.

All they know is that the best young player in England right now is Ling Feng.

When comparing it, of course, you have to take the most famous one to show the awesomeness of your own players!

For the operation of Tottenham fans, how can the Blue Fox fans who regard Ling Feng as the club's big baby? !

Moreover, the dispute between the two also involves the attribution of an award.

That's the PFA Young Player of the Year!

In the eyes of many fans and media, Ling Feng, who has performed explosively this season, has already decided this award.

However, if Kane continues to score, there is also a possibility that he could win a prize.
