Valladolid Stadium.
The entire stadium was filled with a tense atmosphere.
There were only 10 minutes left in the game.
The score was 2: 2. It was a temporary draw.
If it was a draw, it would be a situation where both Jax and Selta would suffer heavy losses; both sides would suffer heavy losses.
Celta's manager, Lotina, was sweating profusely!
At this moment, he was not as calm as Comain.
From 2: 0 to 2: 2, Celta's advantage was gone. Lotina had no choice but to order the team to attack again. Attack!
They had to take down Ajax at home!
However, Celta was not a team that had been in Europe for many years.
Lotina was also not a world-class manager.
Using "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens, those who are good at defending hide below the nine earths."
Attack like a thunderbolt, defend like a thousand miles away.
Sarta didn't have the strength of Jax, and he didn't have the experience that Jax had.
This made their attempt to control the game seem naive and childish.
Among the top three leagues in Europe, the English Premier League controlled the game with a fast pace and high confrontation. Italy focused on overall defense and La Liga focused on delicate passing.
Unfortunately, Celta could not be considered as a representative team of La Liga's technical and tactical team. They were still living in the tactical mindset of the Spanish national team. They could only talk about controlling the game, but in reality, they did not have any method.
After losing two consecutive goals, it was difficult for Celta to attack again!
Their psychological pressure, the pressure given by the game environment, and the anxiety caused by the lack of time left made it impossible for them to return to their smooth offensive state in the first half.
On the other hand, Ajax was single-minded from the beginning to the end. They had been persisting in a certain attitude to play the game. This allowed them to continue their state in the final stage of the game. The efficiency of the overall offensive and defensive system was not affected too much. Because of the two consecutive goals, they were even more outstanding in terms of physical fitness, technical performance, and teamwork!
In the 83rd minute, Júlio passed from the side. Catanha jumped in the penalty area to compete with Heitinga for the header. The two collided and fell to the ground together. Catanha got up and immediately complained to the referee, indicating that the opponent had committed a foul and asking for a penalty kick!
This was a 50-50 chance. The two players collided reasonably in the air and were both running for the ball.
Derjon, Grygra, and Escudo surrounded Catanha and pointed at the Brazilian fiercely, reprimanding him for being "cunning"!
Hai Ting walked over to block De Rong, who had the most ferocious aura, behind him. He did not spare Katanha a glance.
The main referee blew the whistle and awarded a free kick to Jax in the penalty area. The main referee was very observant, and he saw the movement of Heitinga's elbow after he jumped up. However, Heitinga was hard enough, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
In the second half, Celta's focus on blocking Ibrahimovic and Van Der Vaart did not achieve good results. As a result, in the final period of the game, they did not focus on blocking one Ajax player.
Ibrahimovic and Van Der Vaart were revitalized on the frontline.
Ajax's offensive exploded in the final stage.
In the 84th minute, Qin Xiong urged the threatening offensive. He first, Snede, and Maxwell frequently passed and cut on the left side to advance the offensive. When he reached the front waistline, he decisively changed the offensive to the other side. His straight pass accurately passed the ball to Van Der Vaart, who was cutting inside from the right side.
The Dutch golden boy did not stop the ball and directly passed it across. Ibrahimovic rushed ahead and shot from a small angle. Under Sergio's interference, the ball went towards the near corner of the goal. Carvalero lowered his center of gravity and blocked the ball with his foot!
In the 86th minute, Snede dribbled from the left side and sprinted to the periphery of the penalty area. Ibrahimovic suddenly retreated to provide support. Snede sent a cross pass. Ibrahimovic's feet were nimble and clever.
He moved the ball to the middle of the front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong, who was following from the back, broke through Lucin and Berizzo's defensive line and directly shot a heavy shot at the goal!
However, perhaps due to the impact of Berizzo's pursuit and shovel, Qin Xiong's shot was a little high and the football flew into the stands.
A minute later, Grygera ran a long distance from the right side to the front field. Qin Xiong and Pienaar cooperated in front of the penalty area. Pienaar sent a straight pass. Van Der Vaart cut inside and ran to pass the ball. Grygera circled the side and controlled the football from the bottom. Hu Anfran was completely stunned!
Grygera knocked the ball across the middle. Van Der Vaart received it and passed it back to the reverse triangle. Qin Xiong received it and sent another diagonal pass. It was a triangle pass! The football was passed to Sneijder, who was unmarked to cut inside. This was the same spot where he broke the goal. Sneijder shot a powerful shot. Perhaps because he was too focused on the angle, the football hit the goalpost with a bang and bounced out.
Snede held his head and felt extremely regretful. He raised his hand apologetically to his teammates, but no one blamed him.
Ajax's team attack coordination at the last moment could be described as quicksilver flowing on the ground!
Their creativity was amazing. Celta frequently lost their marked targets in panic and helplessness. They were full of loopholes!
Comain gritted his teeth on the sidelines.
If, if Ajax had been able to work together at the start of the game, then how could the game have turned out like this!
Just then, his assistant came up and whispered something in his ear. Comain's eyes suddenly widened.
AC Milan had scored an away goal!
Club Brugge had fallen behind 0: 1 to AC Milan at home!
Ajax's players on the field were fully focused on the game. The team played colorfully and the offense was fluid and unpredictable.
This was inseparable from Qin Xiong's cool-headedness in the final stage of the team. His command and scheduling played a crucial role at this time.
Another point was that Celta could no longer defend. They were also eager to attack. The previously disjointed attack and defense system had now become chaotic, allowing Ajax to take advantage of the situation.
In the last minute of the regular game time, Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back to Qin Xiong on the front line. The latter pushed the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area. Van Der Vaart, who had switched positions with him, cut into the penalty area and received the ball with a furious shot!
The football flew toward the top right corner of the goal like a cannonball. Van Der Vaart thought that the ball would definitely go in. But just as the football was about to fly into the goal, a hand seemed to appear out of thin air and blocked the football. It was Carvalero's palm!
The Argentine goalkeeper made a world-class save!
Van Der Vaart roared to the sky. There was a sense of unwillingness in his roar!
Injury stoppage time, three minutes!
The game was reaching its climax. Ajax's offense was like a tidal wave, but Celta was still struggling. Their attack and defense system was completely messed up. After half time, they would lose possession of the ball if they could not pass the ball three times.
As a result, in the last two minutes of the game, they began to frequently kick the ball!
Ajax, under Qin Xiong's control of the rhythm, was still able to maintain the smoothness of the ground's passing and cutting attacks.
When the time came to the last minute of injury stoppage time, the entire audience stood up. Ajax and Celta fans looked at the field pessimistically at the same time.
Perhaps, in the end, AC Milan and Club Brugge were the ones who benefited!
However, at this time, Qin Xiong received the ball from the backfield. With Pinar's continuous passing and cutting coordination, they bypassed Velasco, who had cut across the middle to defend. After entering the front field, Qin Xiong took the initiative to swim to the left side. Snede switched positions with him and took over his role to coordinate with Pinar at the front waist line.
The two of them calmly bypassed Lucin. When Berizzo came up to block, Sneijder passed the ball to the right side from a long distance.
The Dutch golden boy, Van Der Vaart, controlled the ball.
He did not cut inside, but controlled the ball on the spot.
He raised his head to observe the situation in the penalty area and made a decision in an instant.
He swung his left leg and sent the ball out. The moment the ball left his foot, Van Der Vaart roared in his heart: Life or death, depends on you!
The ball flying into Celta's penalty area was the focus of everyone's attention. When the Celta players determined the direction the ball was flying, they saw the person in front of the ball's trajectory. Ibrahimovic!
Sergio's heart skipped a beat. He stuck close to Ibrahimovic and Belizzo immediately withdrew to the penalty area. Juanfran closed in on Ibrahimovic from the side.
However, Ibrahimovic frowned slightly.
He judged that he would not be able to head the ball!
Therefore, he moved two steps forward!
His movement caused Sergio to follow him like a shadow.
After moving two steps, Ibrahimovic did not take off.
The ball, under the astonished gazes of the Celta defenders, flew over Ibrahimovic's head and fell rapidly!
Ibrahimovic turned his head to look. His eyes were sharp and spirited, filled with incomparable fanaticism!
Kid!
