Although Ajax seemed to have been turned around by the opponent in the first five minutes of the match, the players on the field did not think so, especially Qin Xiong.
Heerenveen came to the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium to stir up trouble, but they also had to see if they had the capital to do so!
Judging from the individual abilities of the opponent's striker and winger, the opponent's unscrupulous front pressing attack was nothing to be afraid of.
In the seventh minute of the match, Heitinga accurately intercepted Samaras' pass. The Greek was repeatedly ravaged by De Rong and Qin Xiong. His physical confrontation ability was too weak!
And his way of bypassing people was actually very simple. He showed off his footwork. If the opponent lost his center of gravity, he would be able to break through. Qin Xiong's method was to outsmart and gain the initiative after striking.
De Rong was the overbearing type of head-on!
I don't care what technique you show, I will use my body to knock you over!
Even if the ball went over, De Rong could turn around and block, and he could still teach Samaras a new person.
Even so, Samaras did not dare to bypass people in less than 10 minutes of the match.
As for his passing, it did not have any unexpected creativity, and it was very predictable.
Heerenveen's offensive ability was weak and powerless in front of Ajax's defense. Even if they relied on the human wave tactic, it would not work.
After Heitinga intercepted the ball, he passed it to Qin Xiong.
At this time, Samaras was standing next to Qin Xiong. His hands were sneakily grabbing Qin Xiong's jersey. Qin Xiong was holding the ball with his back. Facing the rolling football, he blocked Samaras to the other side of his body. Then, when the ball was less than a meter away from him, Samaras wanted to intercept the ball. But just as he moved a step, Qin Xiong also moved.
Qin Xiong also moved a step and used his body to block Samaras. Then, he watched the football roll past him and behind him. Qin Xiong turned around and strode forward, leaving Samaras behind!
The Ajax fans in the stands cheered excitedly for Qin Xiong.
"Hahaha, good job!"
"Heerenveen's striker was dumbfounded. He kept using his feet to control the ball and wanted to break through. In the end, he did not succeed once. Qin Xiong taught him how to pass people without touching the ball!"
Qin Xiong dribbled the football across the half of the field and did not stick to the ball again. Heerenveen played boldly, and the number of defenders in the backfield was not small. At least, Ajax did not have the advantage of playing with more people. But even in a situation where the number of attackers and defenders was balanced, the compression of the opponent's defensive space was not high.
Qin Xiong saw that Van Der Vaart on the right flank was in a better position to hold the ball, so he sent the ball out with a straight pass and accurately passed the ball to Van Der Vaart.
The Dutch golden boy did not stick to the ball either. He immediately passed the ball to Pienaar in the middle.
Pienaar went forward in a straight line, and the Heerenveen defenders immediately retreated. They probably subconsciously thought that Pienaar would go all the way. But on the contrary, Pienaar dribbled the ball to the left flank.
In the process of his dribbling, Snede ran to the middle in front of the penalty area. The two players completed a switch, which caused great interference and confusion to Heerenveen's defensive system.
Pienaar attracted the attention of two defenders. He passed the ball back to the middle and handed it to Snede, who was unmarked.
Snede dribbled the ball forward, and the two opposing center backs were shocked. One in front and the other behind. The one at the back went to defend against Ibrahimovic, and the one at the front went to block Snede.
But at this time, Snede casually flicked the ball to the right side of his body with very little strength.
The football was in front of the penalty area, and someone plugged in from the back and rushed the ball into the penalty area!
Qin Xiong!
He directly formed a one-handed stance. Facing the goalkeeper, Woonke, Qin Xiong volleyed from a small angle!
The football flew into the goal from the top of the near corner of the goal!
"The ball is in! Qin Xiong is in an incomparably hot state. The 18-year-old China's genius player, he has scored in four consecutive games in the Eredivisie! His performance is getting better and better with each game. He is too good. Where did Ajax find such a genius?! "
The stands were full of jubilation.
In the past month of games, the biggest discovery for the Ajax fans was Qin Xiong!
This made Qin Xiong known, loved, and sought after by the fans!
He had become the star player of this stadium!
Because on the field, whether it was his fighting spirit, temperament, playing skills, awareness, or contribution, they were all outstanding and impeccable.
After scoring the goal, Qin Xiong did a problem that he habitually solved when he was "thinking."
A celebratory gesture!
Yes, it had become a habit for the other players to celebrate. Some players did not have a signature gesture, while others did.
Qin Xiong felt that he should also do a celebratory gesture that he often used.
After the goal, he jogged to the corner flag area. When he came to the corner flag pole, he turned sideways slightly. His right hand clenched into a fist and made the first half of an uppercut. Then he froze for two seconds, and then he swung out fiercely. His right fist was raised, and his expression became extremely wild as he roared out.
The fans in the nearby stands who witnessed his celebratory gesture combined with the atmosphere at the scene. It seemed that Qin Xiong's uppercut had an invisible explosive effect!
The inspiration for this celebratory gesture came when Qin Xiong accidentally saw Freddy watching a boxing match.
The passion of fists hitting flesh and the cruel collision of limbs would bring passion and impact to people.
And on the field, although it was not a hand-to-hand fight, similar passion and impact were very frequent.
It seemed that this could also contain a metaphor of Qin Xiong blowing up his opponent.
Van Der Vaart rushed over and hugged Qin Xiong. His teammates came over to touch his head and hug him. There were also some who made fun of his celebratory gesture, such as De Rong.
Heerenveen's manager, De Haan, scratched his head on the sidelines. The 60-year-old man was a little helpless, but he was not anxious.
It was not worth it. It was really not worth it.
In the cruel world of football, one had to learn to taste failure if one's skills were not as good as others. De Haan, who had been coaching a small club, understood the emotions more than anyone else. At first, it might have been sadness, then numbness later. Now, his mentality was very natural.
It was not that he did not work hard, nor that he had given up. This was reality.
The strongest team would lose, and the weakest team would have an upset. But the main theme of the Tree Shade World was that the strong would win more.
The bold and unrestrained Heerenveen did not suffer a mental blow because of the goal loss. Perhaps Manager De Haan had given them a psychological shot in the locker room before the game.
Was it difficult to accept that Ajax had scored?
It could be seen that De Haan valued the young Greek striker, Samaras. Most of Heerenveen's attacks were launched with him as the offensive core.
But Samaras could not find any space in the middle of the front field.
Not to mention that he did not have the confidence to beat Eskuder or Heitinga, he could not even get past De Rong and Qin Xiong!
In the 17th minute of the game, he tried to pull the side and went to the left side to prepare to dribble past.
He was a little naive and believed too much in his footwork.
Unfortunately, Ajax's rear defensive line was not weak in terms of defensive hardness. At least in the Eredivisie, it was definitely strong.
The Czech Rigrea did not give Samaras any face. He went up and tangled with Samaras. He defeated Samaras in close combat, and the Greek fell to the ground once again. He raised his hand and protested to the referee, feeling wronged. However, the referee only showed him his back.
After Ligera dribbled the ball from the flank and strode to the front field, the referee naturally ran to Heerenveen's half of the field.
Ajax's training after the end of the FIFA match day focused on further running-in of the new tactical system in the front field and the improvement of the full backs' aggressiveness in their assists.
The offensive team in the front field did not pay attention to the side tactics, but Ajax could not abandon this routine. The opponent did not know how Ajax's offense was played, and the full backs' substantial assists forward, tearing and restraining in the side would create more defensive pressure on the opponent.
But in the end, the most threatening offensive was still the ground pass and cut, not the monotonous pass.
This would make Ajax's offense more varied.
The players could see Comain's efforts. Although the manager was not necessarily heartwarming or talented, he was a manager who did his job wholeheartedly.
Ligera dribbled the ball to the front field. After attracting the opponent's defense in the flank, he immediately passed the ball back to the reverse triangle. Qin Xiong received the pass 40 yards away from the goal and did not stop the ball to make a short pass. Pienaar also kicked the ball in the middle of the front of the penalty area and went straight to the right flank of the penalty area.
On Van Der Vaart's side, the full backs were attracted by Ligera, so his cut inside was very successful. After receiving Pienaar's pass, the Dutch golden boy also did not stop the ball and directly kicked a curveball with his left foot. The football curved and flew into the inside of the far post.
The stands were boiling.
The Ajax fans saw the team's offense was extremely smooth, full of imagination, and so fast that it was too much for the eyes to take in. The whole process was very smooth, natural, and picturesque!
