Hiddink hoped that PSV Eindhoven could defeat Jax through a fatal counterattack, but the scene that appeared in front of him was that Jax could dominate the match!
Compared to the first half of the league tournament, Ajax was more proactive, but the team seemed to be working together as a whole.
When this advantage was established, and the team's offense and defense were operating freely, Ajax began to burst forth with even more powerful attacks!
In the 26th minute of the first half, Snede took the initiative to switch positions with Pienaar.
When Maxwell came up to assist, Qin Xiong also leaned over to this side.
After he and Maxwell ran side by side in the parallel position, Park Ji-sung went back to take over the defensive midfielder position, but Vogel was unable to interfere with Qin Xiong's charge.
Van Bommel decisively came to the rescue, and it looked like PSV Eindhoven had invested enough troops in this side of the defense.
But when Pienaar switched positions with Qin Xiong from the left winger position, PSV Eindhoven's midfield defense line collapsed!
Van Bommel mistakenly followed Pienaar, but Pienaar actually returned to the midfield to take over Qin Xiong's midfield position.
Maxwell passed the ball to Snede, who was in the attacking midfielder position, and the latter did not hesitate to kick the ball out and pass it diagonally to Qin Xiong, who had already charged to the winger position.
With Oyer beside him, Qin Xiong sped up in the direction of the rolling football, and Oyer followed like a shadow.
Qin Xiong suddenly paused, and Oyer thought that Qin Xiong would stop the ball and go outside, so he also chose to stop.
If Park Ji-sung could communicate with Oyer at this moment, he would definitely tell Oyer: Don't be fooled by him!
Or rather, when defending against Qin Xiong, don't trust your habitual first judgment.
This Chinese man is a magician who starts making feints before he touches the ball!
Qin Xiong paused and sped up again, cutting across the middle in front of the penalty area. Oyer was left behind in the rhythm and could not stop Qin Xiong at all.
The perfect combination of man and ball, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball at a high frequency. When Hovland came forward, Qin Xiong raised his leg to make a long shot. Hovland used his body to block, but Qin Xiong feinted and continued to dribble the ball forward.
Bouma could not ignore Qin Xiong's unscrupulous behavior in front of him. He decisively stepped forward to intercept. As soon as he moved, the football at Qin Xiong's feet was gently passed behind Bouma and Hovland with the arch of his foot.
Ibrahimovic easily received the ball pass from Qin Xiong's wonderful pass, and adjusted the ball with his outer instep, and then a powerful heavy heavy kick towards Watlers.
The Eindhoven the ball, in the blink of an eye, was powerless!
After scoring, Ibrahimovic turned around and pointed at Qin Xiong with a smile on his face.
Qin Xiong also smiled.
It was strange. He rarely smiled after scoring in the past, but when he came to Ajax, he not only learned to laugh after scoring, but his smile was full of arrogance!
It was as if he was overbearing!
"Ajax scored! Ibrahimovic opened the scoring, and Qin Xiong provided the assist! We are not surprised by the arrival of this goal. Ajax dominated the field from the start. They created more chances, and the players were more active on the field. PSV Eindhoven vowed before the game that they would take away the victory here, but what are they doing? They can only run for their lives in the defensive line, and only rely on Kežman and Robben to attack? It doesn't look like it's working well. "
Hiddink's most worried situation happened. Ajax dominated the situation on the field, and then logically scored a goal.
He could not understand. A few months ago, at the Philips Stadium, the Chinese boy who amazed the world with a single brilliant feat was actually the one he asked the players to focus on limiting in this game. However, the other Ajax players seemed to have improved their performance.
Ibrahimovic, Van Der Vaart, Snede, Pienaar, and the two full backs, Grygera and Maxwell.
They surrounded Qin Xiong and hardly made any mistakes. They confidently showed themselves on the field in high spirits and contributed to the team.
What happened to Ajax in the past few months?!
Just looking at Ajax's record in the league, there was not much difference from before. Because whether it was Ajax or PSV Eindhoven, they had a clear advantage in the Dutch domestic league. 80% of the games had a clear difference between the strong and the weak. Therefore, winning, big wins, and crazy wins did not necessarily mean anything. Just like Ajax's consecutive victories, was PSV bad? If you exclude the derby in the first half of the schedule, PSV Eindhoven was only four points behind Ajax. In the league, PSV Eindhoven would also stage a seven-goal slaughter of the opponent and a five-goal thrashing of the opponent in the shocking game.
However, Hiddink only sensed the change in the strength of the Jax Empire after the battle between the two teams that were on par with each other.
Comain waved his fist on the sidelines. Ibrahimovic's goal came at the right time.
If the strong attack did not succeed, the players would be mentally anxious. The timing was very good.
And the problem he had been thinking about before was also directly presented in front of him.
Qin Xiong!
It was not that he was dissatisfied with Qin Xiong.
No, there was not the slightest dissatisfaction.
It was that Qin Xiong, as the team's offensive organizer, would take the initiative to take on the task of accelerating the team's offense. He judged the situation and the strength of individual breakthroughs to create opportunities was obvious to all.
The problem was, when Qin Xiong charged to the front field and came to the opponent's penalty area, what would his defensive position do?
After all, there was a distance of about 20 yards from the midfield.
The scene that Comain could not forget was when Qin Xiong and another Brazilian genius, Kaka, repeatedly played a game of chase on the field against AC Milan.
In the tug-of-war between offense and defense, Kaka sped up from the middle. Qin Xiong could not catch up from behind and turned around. It was Qin Xiong who dribbled the ball to spur the counterattack. Kaka could not catch up with Qin Xiong.
Back and forth, it was like a stalemate situation.
But was this good?
Not good.
On the one hand, it would make Qin Xiong take into account the defense and reduce the forward penetration. On the other hand, when facing a higher-level opponent, that precious counterattack opportunity would be used by the opponent and would inevitably erupt with a stronger threat. Once Qin Xiong was not in a defensive position, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Comain could only hold this thought in the bottom of his heart, but he did not dare to operate on the team. The reason was simple: the winning team would not change.
Ajax was now on the track to victory, and it was not a good idea to rashly change.
Witnessing the team lose the ball, Robben and Kežman were full of resentment. Robben, who was ambitious and eager to win, shouted at his teammates angrily.
The support he received was too little, too little!
But his teammates felt powerless.
Ajax dominated the ball and the offensive pressure made their front and back disconnect.
Robben stayed in front of the front line. If he did not retreat, it was too unrealistic to expect the backfield players to send the ball to his feet with a long kick.
Qin Xiong's style of playing was cool and relaxed, but he never stopped on the field. The only difference was his speed. His jersey was already soaked in sweat. Before every run and touch the ball, he was actively observing and paying close attention to the changes in the situation on the field.
PSV Eindhoven burst out with a wild nature, and the midfielders began to encircle and suppress Qin Xiong.
When Park Ji-sung and van Bommel rushed fiercely toward Qin Xiong, who was dribbling the football, Qin Xiong looked fearless, but he would always decisively pass the ball when he was about to make contact.
He made PSV Eindhoven's midfielders go crazy!
The unpredictability of Qin Xiong's play became the biggest problem they encountered when they defended.
In the 37th minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball in the front field. Park Ji-sung speculated who Qin Xiong would pass the ball to. It looked like his first judgment was correct.
Qin Xiong knew how to pass the ball.
Suddenly, a diagonal pass high into the air was sent out from Qin Xiong's feet.
The football flew to the left winger position, and it looked like Qin Xiong passed it to the Snede.
But the Snede did not move. Oyer followed the Snede closely and realized that the pass was a little wide.
He suddenly turned his head to look and saw the full back, Maxwell, cut into the inside line and steadily stopped the ball!
Except for Ajax's players, not many people would realize that Qin Xiong passed the ball to Maxwell after seeing Qin Xiong pass the ball. It was unexpected and accurate!
This was the concealment of the pass at work.
The Ajax fans did not have time to cheer for Qin Xiong's pass. They stared at Maxwell and saw the Brazilian full back decisively pass the ball. The half-high ball flew to the back of the goal. Ibrahimovic was a cover in the middle, and Van Der Vaart, who followed up from the back, shot in the air!
Bang!
The football actually hit the near post and rebounded. This was the second time that Ajax's shot hit the post!
Although the Ajax fans were a little disappointed, they still enthusiastically applauded the team.
PSV Eindhoven was nothing to be afraid of!
