Second watch.
-----
The key to the second leg of the Champions League 14 final was: Who would score first?
If Chelsea scored first, their morale would undoubtedly be boosted like never before since they had the home advantage.
After changing the total score to 2: 3, Chelsea was only one goal away from advancing!
As long as they could get a 2: 0 victory in this game, they would eliminate Ajax with the away goal advantage.
Similarly, if Ajax scored first and changed the total score to 4: 1, the three-goal gap would bring immense mental pressure to Chelsea.
They needed to score three goals to get the game back to the starting point, which was undoubtedly unprecedentedly difficult. In their Champions League campaign this season, their goal rate per game was not more or less, just one goal.
From the group stage to the knockout stage, they averaged one goal per game.
They were far less varied than Ajax's offensive routines.
It was with this in mind that Qin Xiong thought it was worth a shot.
After the opportunity to counterattack appeared, he unwaveringly rushed to the front field and formed a four-man attack group with Ajax on the offensive end.
In the 32nd and 36th minutes of the game, he completed a series of long shots in front of the penalty area. Makelele was helpless in the face of this situation.
Qin Xiong would not play one-on-one with him at all.
He would not give him a chance to close in and snatch.
Chelsea's offensive was aggressive, and Ajax's timing for the transition between offense and defense was very good.
That was an important part of Ajax's youth training system. It was not a coach who had a sudden whim to practice the rhythm of offense and defense.
In the 39th minute of the game, Duff tried to cut inside on the flank and was successfully intercepted by De Rong. Lampard, who plugged in, spread his hands to Duff to signal that the other side should not stick to the ball too much!
De Rong passed the ball to Galasek, who was moving forward in the middle.
Qin Xiong had already opened his legs and rushed to the front field.
Galasek passed the ball diagonally to Snede, who retreated back to the flank.
Ibrahimovic also came to the front of the penalty area and turned around to act as a fulcrum. Terry and Gallas followed like shadows to attack and defend, waiting for Snede to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic so that they could steal it.
But Chelsea's backcourt was too spacious.
Snede directly passed the ball from the left side to the right side, a horizontal shift!
Van Der Vaart knocked the ball into the middle before Bridge could close in and snatch the ball.
Qin Xiong rushed up in a straight line, and Makelele immediately grabbed him!
Looking at Qin Xiong's posture, it seemed like he was going to make another long shot.
Makelele had not been able to block Qin Xiong's long shot before. There was really no other way. How was Qin Xiong's long shot ability?
Was there a need to ask?
How did they concede the third goal in the previous game?
That shocking long shot was still vivid in his mind. Makelele had to reduce Qin Xiong's unscrupulous long shots in front of the penalty area.
Makelele was surprised when Qin Xiong stopped the ball with his left foot a meter in front of him and adjusted his shooting posture.
Van Der Vaart's pass was not light, and Qin Xiong ran up at full speed.
How did this Chinese man do it?
How could he stop the ball at such a high speed and keep the football firmly within the control range?
Thanks to Van Basten's teaching, this kind of little technique that seemed to be a basic skill, but if it was replaced by an average player, he might have been able to stop the ball three meters away!
After more than half a season of honing and improving, Qin Xiong's level of honing his basic skills to the realm of returning to one's natural state became more and more extraordinary in this kind of fierce confrontation game!
Qin Xiong's line of sight was directed towards Chelsea's goal, which made Makelele even more certain that Qin Xiong was going to make a long shot. He raised his leg to block Qin Xiong's shooting path.
But when the two men met, Makelele was shocked!
Qin Xiong's right foot, which seemed to be swinging to shoot, actually hooked the ball diagonally over the moment it touched the football!
That was behind Makelele!
He was deceived!
Makelele could not believe it because at that moment, he noticed that Qin Xiong's incomparably cold eyes were still directed in the direction of Chelsea's goal!
His feint and even his expression were impeccably realistic!
It was full of confusion.
After Qin Xiong hooked past Makelele, the pupils of the two generals on Chelsea's defensive line, Terry and Gallas, shrank. They could not believe that Makelele had been broken through head-on!
Makelele gritted his teeth after losing his center of gravity.
He suddenly realized that it was not only this pass, but also the previous three long shots. Qin Xiong's three consecutive long shots were also a kind of illusion to pave the way for this pass. Of course, it would be good if the long shots could score a goal.
But he did not rush to try to pass. He still used multiple long shots in a row to interfere with Makelele's defensive judgment!
This man was too damn cunning!
Qin Xiong's rhythm suddenly paused when he passed. He was less than three meters away from Terry and Gallas. At that moment, he started again and unleashed his ultimate speed!
He hooked the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area!
Bridge was following Van Der Vaart, and Gallas was close to the middle because he was marking Ibrahimovic. At that moment, the defensive area on the right side of the penalty area was very empty.
Makelele turned around and immediately wanted to chase back, but he did not expect Qin Xiong to cross the ball into the penalty area in the opposite direction after passing him.
If the attack was replayed from a bird's eye view, Qin Xiong walked in an S-shape, which gave Makelele no chance to interfere with Qin Xiong except to reach out and pull Qin Xiong from behind.
But Makelele hesitated. After he followed two steps, Qin Xiong had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot, and there was no possibility of him touching the ball. Any technical move that made Qin Xiong lose his balance had a very high probability of being sentenced to death by the referee!
Gallas's movement toward Qin Xiong's side was obviously slow. He did not expect Qin Xiong to bypass Makelele, and he did not expect Qin Xiong to go in the opposite direction after passing him. It was the opposite direction of his center of gravity to defend against Ibrahimovic. He needed to start from scratch!
Qin Xiong, who ran diagonally into Chelsea's penalty area, crossed the area parallel to Gallas and Terry's position with one foot!
At that moment, he was like a madman, and his aura shocked the heartstrings of all the spectators!
After the diagonal pass into the penalty area, Qin Xiong did not adjust, nor did he seek cooperation. Ibrahimovic was still blocked, Van Der Vaart was still outside the penalty area, and although Snede received from the far end, his passing route was blocked by Terry and Gallas.
Qin Xiong did his best to twist his body. His straightened right foot blasted towards the football, and he volleyed!
Cudicini subconsciously went to save. He touched the football, but Qin Xiong's powerful shot seemed unstoppable. Cudicini's hand caused the football to refract at a small angle. The football pierced through his fingers and bounced inside Chelsea's goal.
Stamford Bridge fell silent!
Qin Xiong ran to the visiting fans' stands without a change in his expression. He did not make any celebratory moves.
He raised his chin and was expressionless. Only the arrogant coldness between his eyebrows infected every Ajax player.
They should hold their heads high!
They should be extremely proud!
Even if it was not at their own doorstep.
In front of his eyes, thousands of Ajax fans scrambled to wave their arms. They stared at Qin Xiong with different expressions. There was fanaticism, worship, gratification, admiration, madness …
He was not a genuine Ajax player, but he was the person who embodied Ajax's arrogant philosophy most vividly on the field!
He played confidently, bravely showed himself, was astonishingly talented, and was valiant and fearless!
Ajax's teammates surrounded Qin Xiong, and Galasek ran over to hug Qin Xiong's head and kissed him on the forehead.
This goal was crucial. It was too important!
“4:1！ Ajax changed the total score to 4: 1, and they took the lead in scoring at Stamford Bridge! Super Qin Xiong, super Qin Xiong! He actually passed Makelele! OMG！ Spectators all over the world might think he would choose a long shot when he rushed up, but he didn't! How could he give up a long shot? What a genius idea! Deceive Makelele and pass the defensive master! Then, watch him pass Makelele's next move, reverse and diagonally kick the ball to accelerate into the penalty area! Watching Qin Xiong play football is a pleasure. Football is full of accidents and unpredictable things. Do I think there is anything on the field that is unpredictable now? Chelsea's offense is methodical. We can guess it with our eyes closed. Ajax's offense is also very predictable in the overall situation. After all, they only have a few offensive players in the front field. They come and go with nothing more than this or that kind of cooperation. But only Qin Xiong! Only Qin Xiong! His individual play is unpredictable. His long pass transfer will make my eyes light up. When you think he is going to do a long shot, he will suddenly pass the man and surprise you. After he passes the man, you think he will follow the inertial trajectory, but he will suddenly change his route to catch the opponent and the audience off guard! OMG！ Ajax dug up an unprecedented treasure last summer! "
