Ajax's reserve team quickly scored a goal, but van Basten, who was on the sidelines, was not satisfied!
He frowned and clapped his hands at the players on the field. He shouted for the others to run faster and speed up the pace of the game.
His dissatisfaction was not directed at Qin Xiong.
If there was no Qin Xiong, excluding the goalkeeper, the performance of the other nine players in Ajax's reserve team would be normal.
But with Qin Xiong, the others' sense of rhythm was obviously slower. This was a common occurrence on the field. There was never a need to discuss the strength of a player alone. It was meaningless.
Just like Van Der Vaart, who was the focus of Europe's attention, he was very strong. But this strong was also in the context of comparison. As a striker, his league statistics last season proved that he was stronger than 95% of the strikers in the same league. But compared to the alien Ronaldo? Compared to the king of the small box, van Nistelrooy? Compared to Highbury's King Henry?
Now he was playing in the midfield. He still looked talented, but that was only relative to the Eredivisie. If compared to Zidane, Rui Costa, and Scholes, was he still stronger?
Even in the context of comparison, Qin Xiong was the team's most important player, the midfield core, and the brain of the team. He represented the strong beating heart of the team. The other teammates seemed to be slowing down Qin Xiong in terms of rhythm!
Qin Xiong could not just rely on himself to run fast and have a wide range of activities. He had to get the positive response of his teammates!
Only in this way could the overall rhythm be improved.
Under van Basten's displeased whiplash, the other members of the reserve team became extremely alert!
Looking at Qin Xiong, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Qin Xiong, an outsider, was very strong. He had already proven it through training and short performances in the game. At least he made his teammates feel relieved. Louis Van Gaal and van Basten favored him because of his discerning eyes, not because of old age!
Everyone thought in their hearts, "If we can't even catch up with Qin Xiong, how can we even talk about stepping onto the big stage?"
Despite taking the lead in the score, Ajax's reserve team showed an even stronger fighting spirit and team fighting spirit after the restart!
Strikers, midfielders, and full backs, all three of them were attacking at the same time. Qin Xiong could not help but feel an even stronger fighting spirit when he noticed the changes in his teammates!
Only then would team battles be fun!
As the core of the midfield, he ran in a large area and no longer tried to break through individually. Instead, he began to thread the needle with himself as the center.
In the seventh minute, he performed a one-two pass with Lindgren in the middle of the midfield before moving to the left side of the front field. When the opponent's midfielder and forward pounced on Qin Xiong, he performed a short-distance cooperation with the left winger, Esayas. However, Qin Xiong retreated instead and did not move forward.
Opstos' defensive line was facing a formidable enemy at this moment. Qin Xiong's rhythm of retreating stopped, and they were at a loss. In the next second, Qin Xiong suddenly made a long pass and kicked the ball in the direction of the right flank!
Opstos, who used most of his players to increase his defensive strength, was most afraid of moving the ball around in a wide area. After Qin Xiong attracted the opponent's defensive focus, he created a loose attacking environment for the right flank. Moreover, he accurately passed the ball over!
Jatim, who came up from the right flank to assist, stopped the ball on the sideline and immediately dribbled the ball forward. He pressed in front of the penalty area and passed the ball to Drieder, who was in an offside position. This time, Drieder did not hesitate and directly kicked the goal!
The football flew into Opstos' goal, and Ajax's reserve team extended their lead.
The atmosphere in the stands became more enthusiastic, and van Basten also applauded and praised the performance of his players.
As the game went on, the advantage of Ajax's reserve team became more and more obvious, because the whole team gradually entered the same rhythm of the game in the process of constantly controlling the ball.
Comain, who was watching Qin Xiong's performance in the corner of the stands, was shocked!
He carefully recalled the routes of Qin Xiong's offense on the field. Almost every pass was the best route!
In other words, in terms of options for passing, if he had three points to pass, but for offensive opportunities, the three points were not equal to the chance of further development of the offense. Qin Xiong's choice of passing route was almost always the best choice!
The opportunities were good, and his teammates had more space to deal with the ball. He never passed the ball to his teammates and let his teammates compete with the opponent for the ball!
Just this point alone shocked Comain. This reflected Qin Xiong's overall view and team awareness. The most essential was his ability to organize in the midfield!
Comain had not realized many things, such as Qin Xiong's understanding of his teammates' characteristics. For example, he would not give Maduro a long pass, nor would he pass the ball to the striker, Warmbert, with his back to the ball. This was based on his understanding of the overall situation and the basis of knowing oneself and the enemy!
The spectators in the stands may have just been bored to death and came to kill time, but they did not expect a reserve team game to make them more and more excited!
Qin Xiong kept running. He was extremely confident and simple when handling the ball. He already had a faint elegant demeanor.
He appeared in the middle and backfield, the left flank, the middle, the right flank, and various areas in the front field. Every time he ran to an area and touched the ball, it would not take more than two seconds. Even if he broke through, he would immediately pass the ball after passing the person, making the game go on very smoothly.
He brought the entire midfield of Ajax's reserve team to life!
He allowed the fullbacks, midfielders, and forwards to play their roles in the offense!
The players of Ostop's reserve team had initially focused their defense on Qin Xiong.
One person was not enough. Two people? Two people? Three people!
Yes, the more people they put in to defend, the more time they could reduce Qin Xiong's control of the ball.
The more people there were, the more time Qin Xiong could not control the ball, and it would be easier for him to lose possession of the ball.
But on the other hand, if they had many people to keep an eye on Qin Xiong, their defensive strength in other areas would inevitably be reduced!
In the 22nd minute of the first half, Qin Xiong attracted a large number of defenders in the middle and used an overhead kick to assist Warmbert's goal. The players of Ostop hated Qin Xiong to the core!
What to do?
Even if they had more people, what was the use if they could not catch up to Qin Xiong's pace?
Instead, it would weaken the defense in other areas!
On the other hand, Ajax's reserve team played more and more smoothly and excitedly. Every player seemed to be enjoying the game!
Ostop's defense began to become balanced again, focusing on restricting the opponent's front line's trident.
Qin Xiong keenly captured the changes in the opponent, so he charged forward and became the hidden attack point in the offense, unexpectedly killing his way into the penalty area!
Before the end of the first half, Lindgren sent an exquisite straight kick to Qin Xiong. When Qin Xiong ran in reverse offside, the opponent did not have a single defender following him!
Their attention was focused on Warmbert, Esayas, and Driedle. The midfielders who were following Qin Xiong closely were shaken off by Qin Xiong's sprint!
After successfully reversing offside, Qin Xiong casually poked the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with the tip of his foot on the line of the penalty area.
His action seemed casual, but in fact, it was very confusing. Usually, players would swing their legs when shooting, but he did not. It was as if he dribbled the ball forcefully and directly poked the ball forward. When the goalkeeper reacted, it was too late!
On Qin Xiong's way back after the goal, Lindgren jumped on his back and laughed. "Your shot looks like a mistake, hahaha."
At this time, the audience in the stands also warmly applauded.
"That kid is so cool when he plays football!"
"Look at him running on the field. He's so energetic. It's like he has endless stamina!"
"I like the way he controls the ball the most. He doesn't show any signs of panic. No matter how close the opponent is to him, he can still shake them off in a small area. Awesome!"
"He's so good. He should be in the first team! He can definitely play as the main force in the first team! "
Ajax's fans were discussing Qin Xiong's performance, but the China reporters in the stands were intoxicated. When the game ended, they fell into great excitement again!
China's genius in Ajax!
In today's reserve team league game, Ajax massacred Ostop's reserve team at home with a score of 9: 0.
Qin Xiong scored a brace and a hat-trick of assists. He was fully deserving of the best player of the game in the hearts of the audience!
On the way out, Comain's mind was full of replays of Qin Xiong's performance in the game.
In the evening, Comain came to the reserve team's office to inform van Basten.
Qin Xiong was transferred to the first team!
