Ajax's offense in the second half was even more ferocious because they were behind at home.
Snede and Pinar were the focal points of the offense in the front field.
In the 58th minute of the match, Snede received a pass from Galasek on the left flank. Qin Xiong came to help defend this point. Snede looked like he was dribbling towards the end line, but when Qin Xiong rushed over, he decisively pulled the ball back. He did not completely bypass Qin Xiong, but he managed to create an opening for him to pass the ball to the middle.
After the ball was sent out, Snede ran towards the middle. Pinar received the pass in front of Fàbregas and dribbled to the left. Fàbregas moved parallel to him to ensure that he could defend against the opponent head-on.
However, just as Sneijder and Pienaar passed each other, Pienaar suddenly knocked the ball backwards. Sneijder rushed past him and took the ball away.
Fàbregas' center of gravity was completely unable to keep up. Ajax's role in the front field was skillful and well-coordinated.
But there was still someone who went to mark Snede, and that was Qin Xiong!
Qin Xiong had been following Snede all this time. Snede knew that Qin Xiong was difficult to deal with. Perhaps Qin Xiong's defensive skills were not outstanding, but his defensive awareness and ability to predict offensive and defensive situations were outstanding.
He had sensed that Snede would switch positions with Pinar in his movement after Snede passed the ball.
But Snede was still full of confidence. When he saw Qin Xiong closing in, he thought to himself: You did well enough. Too bad, your teammate made a mistake!
Snede passed the ball diagonally to the front left. Qin Xiong suddenly turned his head and was stunned to see Fàbregas doing the same thing right beside him.
When Pienaar knocked the ball backwards, Fàbregas did not chase after Pienaar. Instead, he chased after Sneijder. This overlapped with Qin Xiong's marking of the target, allowing Pienaar to create an opportunity to attack without anyone marking him.
The most important thing about a switch was the consistency of the defensive side's marking on the target.
Fàbregas' forehead was covered in cold sweat. One side of Ajax's offense was already paralyzed. Ajax's offense on the right flank was completely frozen. Logically speaking, it should be easier to defend. But he did not expect that just relying on the middle and the left flank, Ajax could still create a significant threat.
He did not dare to imagine what kind of explosive power Ajax, who had a large number of geniuses in the past!
It was no wonder that Arsenal and Chelsea fell to Ajax.
Pinar dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. There was not much time left for him to deal with the ball. He felt very helpless.
The young Babel could not contribute much in such an attack. Eboue was rushing to intercept him. Touré and Senderos were marking Huntelaar. Snede followed up in the middle and was also surrounded by Qin Xiong, Fàbregas, and Silva.
Ajax could push the attack into Arsenal's dangerous zone, but there were too few options for the final strike.
Pinar could only choose to shoot himself!
He blasted a high-quality shot. Lehmann calmly and steadily pounced to block the ball out of the goal!
"This is a threatening attack from Jax! Unfortunately, Pinar's shot was blocked by Lehmann! Pinar's shot was brilliant. Lehmann's pounce was beautiful. Ajax looks like he has a good chance to equalize the score. "
Wenger shook his head slightly on the sidelines. Fàbregas was still a little young after all. He needed to accumulate more experience to be able to play freely in the English Premier League and the European battlefields.
The English Premier League was the English Premier League, and the European battles were European battles. Different battlefields naturally had different styles.
The English Premier League had its own unique style, while the European battlefields were rich and varied. It was not impossible to conquer Europe with the English Premier League's mindset, but it was very, very difficult.
The football that was blocked by Lehmann fell at Eboue's feet. It was not known whether he did it intentionally or not, but the forward clearance ball fell in the middle of the midfield circle. Qin Xiong rushed forward. Snede was originally parallel to Qin Xiong, but after two steps, he found that Qin Xiong was overtaking him. So, he reached out to grab Qin Xiong's arm, but he was habitually swatted away by Qin Xiong.
Snede gritted his teeth.
It's over!
Qin Xiong's ability to grasp the opponent's defensive flaws was not only known to Snede, but also to Ajax and many of the players who had been teammates with Qin Xiong!
In this situation, Qin Xiong's threat was simply off the charts. He wanted to make a tactical foul just now, but missed the opportunity. He could not grab Qin Xiong's arm.
Now, he could only watch Qin Xiong's back gradually disappear. It was not that he did not work hard, and it was not that he had given up. It was just that he could not f * * king catch up!
Qin Xiong dribbled the ball directly forward in the midfield. Ajax's defensive line retreated step by step. Qin Xiong calmly observed the situation in the front field.
Henry ran to the middle, which was a point that Ajax had to focus on guarding at the first moment.
Lindberg's retreating speed was slower, so he had to make a defensive move. Just when he stopped and planned to defend against Qin Xiong head-on, his rhythm changed. It was more difficult to rush up again. Qin Xiong simply changed directions in front of him and directly broke through to the left side. Lindberg's defense missed and he almost fell to the ground.
After breaking through Lindberg's defense, Qin Xiong rubbed the ball forward with the outer instep of his right foot.
A half-high curveball flew in the direction of Ajax's penalty area.
Henry looked like he was holding the ball with his back, but after Henry saw the trajectory of the football's flight, he glanced at his left side from the corner of his eye, which was the right flank where Arsenal was attacking. He decisively turned to outflank the front of the goal when the football began to produce an obvious curveball, which caught De Jong and Vermaelen a little off guard.
Why didn't Henry provide support?
They only saw the football draw an obvious arc around to the right side of the penalty area when they turned to defend against Henry.
Reyes rushed from behind Trabelsie and cut inside the penalty area. He did not realize that Qin Xiong was going to pass the ball to him from the beginning. He just rushed forward and ran until he realized that Qin Xiong's curveball was actually passed to him!
He did not stop the ball and directly stuffed the ball into the middle in front of the goal. De Jong and Vermaelen did not expect Henry's movement and Qin Xiong's true intention of passing the ball in their previous defense. This time, they were very passive. Vermaelen shoveled to try to block the football, but when the tip of his foot was still 20 centimeters away from the football, he could only watch the football roll in front of him.
De Jong did not dare to foul in the penalty area and was blocked by Henry on the outside. This time, he had the will but not the strength to defend.
Henry received Reyes's pass and played it cleanly. He pushed the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal. The distance was too close, and Stekelenberg could not react in time. He could only look at the ball and sigh.
"Arsenal scored the second goal! Henry's goal, Reyes's assist, and Qin Xiong's wonderful offensive instigation. Arsenal's quick attack in this game grasped Ajax's weakness, the left back position. Whether it was Emmanuel Elsen or Trabelsie, they both performed badly in the left back position. It was this flaw that gave Arsenal the opportunity to tear apart Ajax's defense! "
