According to Ajax's most basic selection criteria: TIPS
Speed. Qin Xiong's speed and explosive power in this game were amazing. His dribbling speed was also amazing.
Personality. Qin Xiong had single-handedly led the Yellow Team, which was obviously weaker, to obtain a two-goal lead. The process of scoring two goals had shown his personality.
Insight. Discovering the opponent's weakness and the strengths of his teammates and making use of them. His insight was outstanding at a glance.
Technique. This was impeccable. Others might not have paid attention, but Louis Van Gaal had a deep impression. From the beginning of the game until now, Qin Xiong's passing success rate was 100%. Of course, this had to do with him not passing too much. However, the technical connection of passing, stealing, positioning, anticipation, ball control, dribbling, and smooth and reasonable passing all showed Qin Xiong's strong technical foundation.
There was no doubt that this 18-year-old Chinese player was Ajax's best player in recent years based on TIPS alone!
In addition, with just one assist, Qin Xiong overattacked through Buhari and decisively assisted Babel to break the goal. In less than 10 seconds, he won Louis Van Gaal's appreciation!
Although Qin Xiong did not do much, they were all crucial. Perhaps if it were other players of the same age, it would be difficult to do better than Qin Xiong when playing with unfamiliar teammates for the first time.
At the same time, what Louis Van Gaal admired the most was Qin Xiong's mentality.
He was absolutely calm and accurate in the overall situation of the game!
Now, Louis Van Gaal was in a good mood and wanted to continue to appreciate Qin Xiong's next performance.
There were still 15 minutes to the game.
The red team was two goals behind. When the results of the players' grouping came out, the players on the red team naively thought that they were stronger. Today, playing against the yellow team, which was one year younger than them, would be a game of bullying!
But being two goals behind, coupled with their terrible performance in the process of conceding the goal, was a heavy psychological blow that pulled them back to reality.
Morpeth yelled at the three strikers, ordering Drieder, Demur, and Esias to retreat and strengthen the midfield defense. At the same time, Morpeth rushed to Emmanuel Elson and warned him not to think about his performance!
The Red Team was united, and they were still full of confidence to turn the tables around.
It was undeniable that because of their superior mentality, they played more aggressively at the beginning. This aggressiveness continued into the second half, which also gave Qin Xiong a chance to perform. As long as Qin Xiong broke through the midfield line, the exposed defensive line was almost useless!
Now, the Red Team had to combine all three lines and use the strength of the team to suppress the Yellow Team!
No matter how Qin Xiong performed, Louis Van Gaal would not change his decision to sign Qin Xiong. He believed that Qin Xiong was at least a piece of unpolished jade that could be made into something with a little bit of polishing!
He saw from the sidelines that the red team had shortened the distance of the three lines after the kickoff. The visual demonstration was that the space in the midfield was compressed, and the effect would be to cut the yellow team's offensive formation. At the same time, it would create layers of sniping effect on the single point of attack!
He could not help but chuckle softly. "Hehe, the game is starting to get interesting."
He was indeed looking forward to it. In such a situation, how would the weaker yellow team that Qin Xiong was in do?
The red team began to make the center of attack unpredictable through rapid passing. It was as if they were on steroids, and they were constantly improving their performance. On one hand, it was seriousness, and on the other hand, it was fighting spirit!
As for Qin Xiong, after the kickoff, he still formed a double defensive midfielder position with Maduro. The 2: 0 still could not change the difference in strength between the two teams!
On this point, Qin Xiong was very clear.
When the red team put on a look of oppression as a whole and wanted to rely on the team's strength to crush the yellow team, was Qin Xiong afraid? Was he nervous? Was he distressed?
No, he was excited!
He was even more excited than before the game started!
From now on, this game made Qin Xiong really excited.
Otherwise, the red team would be too weak to withstand a single blow. Even if they were defeated, there would be no sense of accomplishment!
Qin Xiong took the time to say to Maduro, "You block the opponent's middle and plug in the players. Leave the defense in the penalty area to me."
Maduro nodded and agreed without hesitation. As a defensive midfielder, he was most afraid of being distracted. On the one hand, he had to defend the penalty area, and on the other hand, he had to ensure that the screen was effective. In a short period of time, there might be an awkward situation where he could not take care of the front and back. Humans could never run faster than the ball.
If Maduro focused on blocking the threat of Emmanuel Elsen and Morpeth's forward penetration, he was confident that he could do it. However, Maduro could not afford to be distracted when the wingers cut into the penalty area and formed an unexpected attack point. With Qin Xiong's personal guarantee, Maduro trusted him. At least, Qin Xiong's defense in the key areas was very good.
In fact, it was true. The red team's offensive strength was obviously able to gain the upper hand in a one-on-one battle against the yellow team's defenders. It was Qin Xiong who repeatedly returned to the penalty area to defend, blocking the opponent's attack at the crucial moment!
And every time the defense turned to offense, Qin Xiong was not in a hurry. His teammates were willing to pass the ball to him and let him organize the attack. At this time, Qin Xiong made a pressing gesture to his teammates. Steady!
He would frequently pass the ball to the right back, Rustenberg, the attacking midfielder, Lindgren, and the left winger, Bukhari.
After every pass, he would run without the ball and find a suitable gap to receive the ball. When his teammates passed the ball to him, he would pass the ball to the other teammates.
At the 13th minute of the second half, Qin Xiong began to attack from the penalty area. He completed a total of 14 passes in the midfield area. The yellow team's midfield team's passing and receiving of the ball was very smooth!
At this moment, Louis Van Gaal, who was on the sidelines, suddenly opened his eyes wide and revealed a look of disbelief!
Rustenberg, Qin Xiong, Lindgren, Maduro, Bukhari!
Five people!
They were distributed in five different spots.
With Qin Xiong as the core, from the right side of the back field to the left side of the front field, they formed a complicated triangular passing combination!
And the yellow team's system suddenly became clear.
Other than Rustenberg, the other three defenders were purely responsible for defense!
These five were responsible for dominating the midfield!
Babel and Cameron were the killers waiting for an opportunity in the front line!
The hierarchy was very clear.
And in a short period of time, Qin Xiong continuously passed the ball to these four players, allowing them to quickly establish a connection between them. There was no need for words. As long as they ran, passed, and received, the cycle was carried out. Soon, the other four players were brought into the same rhythm by Qin Xiong!
Qin Xiong's role as an organizer became particularly prominent in that instant!
He reminded Louis Van Gaal of a person, a Spaniard he had promoted before he left Barcelona. That person's name was Xavi.
Louis Van Gaal suddenly turned his head and asked Rylink, "Is this really his first time here?"
He could not help but suspect that Qin Xiong had played with the yellow team's players on the field before!
Rylink's insight was not as unique as Louis Van Gaal. He could not see the meaning behind the situation on the field. He naturally replied, "It should be his first time. Otherwise, it would not be like that in the first half."
In the first half, Qin Xiong was isolated by his teammates!
Louis Van Gaal did not ask any more questions. The way he looked at Qin Xiong changed again. Discovering a genius naturally made him strangely excited!
Although the Red Team was tightly integrated, their defense did not form a tacit understanding. When the Yellow Team established a team mode with Qin Xiong as the core in a short period of time, the Red Team only had one person in the position, but it looked like they were fighting alone.
Therefore, the situation on the field and the overall situation quietly changed with the passage of time.
The yellow team went from a disadvantage to a balance, from a balance to an advantage!
Because the more the yellow team's players played, the more confident they became, the smoother they played, and the more excited they became!
At this moment, even Louis Van Gaal did not realize that Qin Xiong had so accurately chosen the players to build a team system!
Among the defenders, Rustenberg's passing ability was the most accurate, and his assists were mainly based on supporting passes.
The attacking midfielder Lindgren's speed and explosive power were weak, but his strengths were his positivity in protecting the ball and running without the ball, as well as his creativity in passing!
Buhari was also a player with a strong sense of team awareness. Although he was not a qualified winger, in building a team system, team players were indispensable!
On the other hand, Babel and Cameron were on the frontline. Their shooting accuracy was pretty good, and they were overconfident in their shooting skills. They wanted to score more goals, so all they had to do was wait for an opportunity to do so!
As the core of the team, Qin Xiong had not only gained insight into his opponents but also fully understood his teammates in less than half an hour. He had maximized the use of the resources of this team that had been pieced together at the last minute and stimulated the maximum energy of this temporary team!
Freddy, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was not surprised. This was Qin Xiong's strongest point!
He could elevate a team!
As long as the team trusted him!
Give him absolute support, and he would repay you with a glorious world!
