Seventh watch!
-----
Even though Ajax had taken the one-goal lead at home, the overall situation was still undecided.
When the game came to the second half, Monaco, who had nowhere to retreat to, made adjustments during the halftime break. They unified their thinking in the second half and launched a desperate counterattack.
Monaco seemed to have changed. In addition to their passion, there was also madness. This madness leaned toward bloodiness and brutality!
When Qin Xiong was in possession of the ball in the midfield, he was met with Kierkes pulling his jersey from the side and Bernardi fiercely tackling the ball from the front. He lost the ball in order to dodge because he was sure that if he did not dodge, there was a high probability that Bernardi would tackle his calf!
After he staggered to stabilize his body's center of gravity, he was shocked to see that the referee did not blow the whistle to stop the game!
He ran back to the backfield to defend, and when he passed by the referee, his expression was very dissatisfied, indicating that the other side had pulled his jersey just now. He also roared at the referee, "That was a dangerous tackle just now!"
The referee from England was indifferent and ignored Qin Xiong's protest.
He probably thought that the opponent's tackle did not have any physical contact with Qin Xiong, so Bernardi's action could be judged or not judged. He chose the latter in order to let the game go smoothly.
On the football field, it was not only physical contact that would result in a foul. Just like in real life, when someone chased someone down ten streets with a knife, it did not matter if the knife did not hit the person. It was definitely illegal.
It was the same on the football field. Some actions, regardless of whether they caused damage or not, were considered to be fouls.
Qin Xiong held back a breath of resentment. Monaco's change in the second half was a little sudden.
It was not like the Premier League teams that he had played against, which always had the same style from beginning to end. The contrast in the first half and the second half caught him a little off guard.
Obviously, the French team, which followed the playing style of Van Ladin, was the first to show its bloody fangs before the final struggle in a disadvantageous situation!
Qin Xiong's goal concede shocked Ajax's rear defensive line.
Unknowingly, in the half a year of getting along and working together, Qin Xiong's teammates might not have realized that Qin Xiong was the core figure they relied on. When the ball was transferred to Qin Xiong's feet and he controlled the field, their psychological state was so comfortable. When they were nervous, they could take a breath, and when they were relaxed, they could have the leisure to appreciate it. On the contrary, when Qin Xiong was successfully intercepted by the opponent in the midfield, they were like a bolt from the blue.
Zekes dribbled the ball and quickly arrived at the front of the penalty area. De Rong subconsciously went forward to intercept him, and Zekes passed the ball to Roten, who cut across the middle of the penalty area from the flank.
Luo Teng realized that he had an angle to shoot, so he did not hesitate to shoot.
This was a cold shot that was rather unexpected.
Lobonte hurriedly blocked the ball, but the blocked football deflected to the right side of the penalty area. A person flashed out from between Maxwell and Escudo. This person stretched out his leg and poked the ball back in the direction of the goal. Lobonte was powerless to reverse the situation. He had not even stood up yet!
Giuly, who had the agility and agility of the Son of the Wind, raised his right fist and roared!
"Giuly equalized the score for the team! Monaco's goal came from a mistake by Ajax's midfield star, Qin Xiong. He lost the ball under the fierce pincer attack of Zekes and Bernardi. Monaco quickly launched a quick attack. Roten's long shot made Lobonte lose his hand to save, and Giuly followed up with a follow-up shot to send the ball into the goal. Good goal! 1: 1, the total score is 3: 3. Monaco did not give up so easily! "
Qin Xiong had to raise his hand and take the initiative to apologize to his teammates. He knew how serious his loss of the ball was, which made him wary of the opponent's next defensive move. Obviously, Monaco was going all out. They risked a yellow card or even a red card to stop Qin Xiong!
No Ajax players cast a complaining look at Qin Xiong. Even Derong and Galasek came forward to give him a few words of encouragement. No fans in the stands had the heart to criticize Qin Xiong for losing the ball after being robbed. Qin Xiong's contribution to Ajax being able to reach the semi-finals could not go unnoticed. Although he did not do it alone, even if a mistake ruined Ajax's Champions League journey, he would not be reduced to a sinner.
Qin Xiong gritted his teeth.
He felt a little uncomfortable. He had been the core figure in a team since he was a child. He was looked forward to and had high hopes placed on him by his companions. The awareness of this key role made him deeply understand how heavy the blow and negative impact on the team would be if he did not perform well and if there were problems.
He was not a dispensable passerby.
Monaco's momentum was stronger after equalizing the score, but they still needed to score.
Monaco, who quickly equalized the score at the start of the second half, immediately launched an all-out pressure to press Ajax after they restarted the ball.
Deschamps' adjustment for Monaco was to restore the initial change to restrict Qin Xiong in the last confrontation. The factor was that Ajax did not have a regular center forward on the field. Even if Qin Xiong pulled the side to launch a quick attack from the side, it would be difficult to directly hit a fatal blow with the combination of the sides and the center!
At the same time, the three midfielders increased the aggressiveness of the scramble. Deschamps hoped to completely restrict Qin Xiong.
Young players were afraid of injuries. Under the fierce siege of the opponent, would they be too self-protective and shrink back?
Young man!
Don't try to be brave anymore!
In the 58th minute of the game, Ibarra passed the ball from the side. Morientes intended to head the ball in front of the goal. Unfortunately, Lobonte was the first to hit the ball out of the penalty area.
Qin Xiong retreated very deep to receive the ball, and it just happened that the ball flew to his feet.
Giuly, who cut across the middle, came to his feet to fight for the ball. Qin Xiong suddenly started to move the ball and got rid of Giuly. Then, when Luo Teng also directly shoveled to block Qin Xiong's forward path, Qin Xiong moved the ball sideways. After dodging Luo Teng, he accelerated forward in a straight line.
Seeing Qin Xiong get rid of two counterattacks, Deschamps felt that things were not good.
He could not help but yell at the field from the sidelines.
"Stop him! Foul! Stop him with a foul! Quick! Don't let him pass the midfield! "
Deschamps, who looked at the overall situation from the sidelines, knew that the offensive and defensive situation was extremely unfavorable for Monaco.
Since they had equalized the score, as long as they scored another goal, Monaco would be able to reverse the overall situation. Therefore, Monaco had invested a lot of manpower in their counterattack. They were extremely pressuring, and the backfield was extremely spacious. If Qin Xiong were to pass through, it would be a flat plain!
In the past 15 years, Monaco had three periods of glory. The first two periods were marked by star players such as Djorkaeff and Hoddle under Wenger's guidance. They had won the French Ligue 1 championship. The second period of glory was marked by star players such as Henry and Trezeguet during the Tijana era. They had also won the French Ligue 1 championship and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. The third period was today. Although Deschamps did not lead the team to win the league title, their competitiveness in the league and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League again were also a period of glory that could not be underestimated. In particular, Monaco was not the same as before. Three of their main lineup players had to rely on loan to strengthen the lineup. One could imagine how obvious the gap between them and the European powerhouses was.
In these three periods of glory, Monaco had always adhered to the direction of the technical flow, inheriting and developing the Latin style of football that France had established since the Platini era.
But at this moment, Deschamps had to make the team a little more "rough"!
Everything was to limit the huge midfield star player in Ajax's formation who was a huge threat!
This might be a kind of compromise, but in order to go further on the peak stage of European football, he had no choice. He had already racked his brains. In the two rounds of the battle of wits and courage, he was about to run out of ideas!
Qin Xiong had learned his lesson. He knew what he would encounter when he dribbled the ball forward.
So, he would give his opponent a big surprise.
When Kierkes tried his best to block Qin Xiong and intended to make a tactical foul by tugging at his jersey, Qin Xiong's ultimate speed exploded. Without waiting for the last moment, he increased his speed to the limit!
Kierkes had just grabbed Qin Xiong's jersey when he realized that Qin Xiong was already prepared. He forcefully dribbled the ball and accelerated his breakthrough!
Kierkes lost his center of gravity because he was too persistent in his action of tugging at Qin Xiong's jersey during his high-speed run. At the same time, Qin Xiong swung his left arm violently in the middle of his run, in order to shake off the other party's hand that was tugging at his jersey!
Kierkes fell and rolled behind Qin Xiong in front of everyone's eyes. Qin Xiong's outburst of wild momentum was shocking.
The fans in the stands who witnessed his strides and rapid dribbles could not help but get excited.
Especially those who had been holding up the "Fly! China Hero! "banner Chinese fans. The men raised their arms and shouted, while the women jumped on the spot and shouted loudly.
Their expressions of excitement and surprise were so charming, and at the same time, so proud!
