Once Chelsea got an opportunity to attack, their overall mental outlook changed dramatically.
Wild, radical, unrestrained!
It was as if all the players had mobilized the offensive factors in their bodies and launched an attack forward with a fighting spirit that would not stop until they broke the goal.
Even though Chelsea still could not play as smoothly as Ajax's offense, they worked hard to score goals through simple and crude routines.
In the seventh minute, Duff passed from the flank. Lobonte left the goal and punched the football out on the line of the small penalty area.
Lampard raised his leg to make a long shot on the outside. De Rong raised his leg to block it with his body. He did not expect Lampard to push the ball sideways, swing the angle, and then use a heavy cannon to blast the goal. At the critical moment, Galasek's outstretched leg in front of Lampard changed the trajectory of the football. After the refraction, the football quickly flew out of the end line.
Chelsea kicked a corner kick, and Escudo headed the ball to clear the siege. Snede wanted to pass Gelunxiaer after stopping the ball on the outside, but he was intercepted by Makelele, who plugged in from behind. He passed the ball to Gelunxiaer on the side, who then raised his leg to pass.
The quality of the pass was not satisfactory. Grygera nodded the ball behind the penalty area to clear the siege, and Qin Xiong controlled the football on the outside.
He stepped on the ball with his back to Chelsea's half of the field. He dared not easily pass the ball to his teammates.
Chelsea, who had the home advantage, attacked rapidly, which was reflected in the outbreak of every point. He relied on the wild impact of his individual ability to try to break Ajax's tight defense into pieces.
Especially during continuous attacks, it was very easy for the defensive side to be confused, make mistakes in defensive adjustments, lose their target, and make other catastrophic mistakes.
Therefore, he did not dare to pass the ball. His teammates needed to catch their breaths and calm down.
Duff rushed up from behind without any sense of reason. Qin Xiong paid attention to the angle of the opponent coming up from behind. Then, when Duff closed in, he pulled the ball from the other side and turned around!
Duff rushed forward to snatch the ball. Qin Xiong pulled the ball and turned around. At the same time, the two of them brushed past each other!
Qin Xiong pulled the ball and turned around. In front of him was a vast expanse of sky!
He dribbled the ball forward along the flank. Lampard was rushing back to defend and Makelele was also retreating.
When Bridge rushed up, Qin Xiong did not stick to the ball anymore. The three seconds after the transition between offense and defense was the most critical time to use. He had already wasted it just now. That was a decision he made after assessing the situation. He did not deliberately slow down the speed of his attack.
When Van Der Vaart pulled the ball to the side, he received support from Qin Xiong on the flank of the front field. The ball was at his feet. Van Der Vaart pretended to cut inside and Makelele retreated into the penalty area.
At this time, Van Der Vaart hoped to create an opportunity for Ibrahimovic by using himself as a cover.
But he underestimated Makelele. Or rather, the more in such a situation, the more obvious Makelele's role was.
He saw through Van Der Vaart's intention to pass the ball!
He took a step into the penalty area to create space for Gallas to retreat deeper. Then, he stopped the ball and turned it back. Through the created space, he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic.
After the ball at his feet was passed out, Van Der Vaart was shocked to see Makelele, who had clearly retreated to the back, come forward to intercept the ball as if he had been prepared!
Ibrahimovic was helpless. Van Der Vaart was speechless.
"That's it! Makelele is like that! He was underestimated in Real Madrid! He is definitely a defensive master. The more he is attacked on the counterattack and when the opponent has open space to attack, his choice of position and prediction are extremely accurate! Van Der Vaart seems to have passed the ball to Makelele. Hahaha, did you see his expression? He is shocked! No, he shouldn't be shocked. This is Makelele. You want to break through his defense with a simple pass in front of him? Young man, you are still too young! Having said that, Real Madrid only pays attention to superstars and lacks attention to the strong players. I have to say that Abramovich has made a good deal. Makelele is worthy of his value and the high salary he receives. "
Makelele's play was not accidental. When he successfully stole three times in the next 10 minutes, Qin Xiong could not help but begin to re-examine Ajax's strategy for the game.
A 3: 1 lead, coupled with playing defensive counterattack in the away game, did not mean that Ajax could win easily.
Even if Chelsea had a greater investment in the offense, Ajax had gained an extremely wide space in the front field.
The problem that arose was that after playing fast offense, Ajax had only a few troops in the front field.
The space was enough to coordinate, but there were not many points of support.
It was impossible to ask Grygera or Maxwell to be able to run faster than the ball to the front field after continuously defending against Chelsea's offense.
When Ajax's trident sought cooperation in the front line, Makelele was the calmest player among Chelsea's defensive players.
He would either accurately predict the attack point of Ajax's pass and cut coordination and form an interception on the route.
Or he would decisively close in and snatch after ensuring that his teammates kept an eye on one of them. The way he neutralized and played was very unbearable for the Ajax players.
Snede and Van Der Vaart lost the ball twice due to close in and Ibrahimovic missed a pass once.
Although there was not so much space in Ajax's offense in the last game, there were a number of players in the front field, and the most basic triangular cooperation in the group could be played.
Today's defensive counterattack was at the forefront. The triangle system of Ibrahimovic, Snede, and Van Der Vaart was too far away. It was difficult to play in a short period of time that the opponent could not react to.
Change needed!
Take risks!
Qin Xiong knew that if they continued to play like this, even if Ajax had a hundred counterattack opportunities, he might not be able to hit more than ten times. In addition, even if he could shoot, he might not be able to score, so the probability of scoring was even lower.
He needed to be bolder and hand over the task of switching between offense and defense to Galasek. Then he burst out with speed to the front line to be able to derive more coordinated changes in the fast offense.
Chelsea's response to Ajax's counterattack and the repeated success of the defense gave the attacking players more confidence. They were more unscrupulous in their efforts to destroy Ajax's defense in front.
In the 28th minute, Duff crossed from the left side to the penalty area. Lampard cut into the empty space on the left side of the penalty area. His running position got rid of Derong and Galasek, and then he swept the ball behind the goal as soon as he touched the ball.
Lobonte moved to the back of the goal and saw that Crespo had a golden opportunity to break the goal. Before he could shoot, Escudo flew to tackle the ball and swept the ball out of the end line, which shocked Ajax's players into a cold sweat.
It was almost a blunder!
"Chelsea almost knocked open Ajax's goal. It seems that Ajax's defensive play did not make the defense more stable. Chelsea is not passive on the field. They can break the goal at any time!"
Two minutes later, Ajax spurred the backfield to counterattack.
Qin Xiong deliberately passed the ball to Galasek, who passed the ball directly from the backfield to Snede on the left side of the front field.
Qin Xiong rushed forward. When he came to the front of the penalty area, Makelele could no longer accurately predict as before. Because Ibrahimovic and Qin Xiong were the two receiving points in the middle, he could not predict who Snede would pass the ball to.
At this time, Snede first passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, who then kicked the ball back to Qin Xiong.
Makelele rushed over to block, and Qin Xiong received the ball and directly shot out a kick!
The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal at an extremely fast speed. Cudicini made a world-class save and blocked the ball out of the end line.
Qin Xiong's expression did not change. Ajax's fast-attack threat finally came out!
"Wow! Ajax's new midfield star, Qin Xiong, almost broke the goal. His wonderful long shot and organizational talent in the last game were unforgettable. He is a player with distinctive characteristics. He has excellent technical ability, a good view of the overall situation, and a long shot that makes all goalkeepers tremble! No wonder many teams in the Premier League are interested in him. Ajax can't deceive the world. They have been saying that they will renew Qin Xiong's contract, but Qin Xiong's contract will soon have only one year left. Rumor has it that Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Ajax's opponent today, Chelsea, all want to buy Qin Xiong. Why not? It won't be a costly investment. As long as Qin Xiong doesn't renew his contract with Ajax, his transfer fee won't be too high! "
The atmosphere in the game was getting tenser.
Chelsea was able to create opportunities to threaten Ajax through his tough momentum.
Ajax's defensive counterattack finally began to show its power to kill the opponent!
