William II's captain, Lanzart, calmly led the offense forward.
In the process of advancing, his position gradually moved to the right side of the midfield, and he also carefully observed Ajax's defensive situation.
Eskuder followed the striker, Vandeneid, and retreated. The two full backs, Grygera and Maxwell, did not dare to give the opponent a pass gap in the penalty area. At this time, they could only give up the outside defense on the flank and withdraw inside to compress the space.
Galasek and Qin Xiong were also retreating step by step, and Galasek made a prompt decision to move laterally after Lanzart dribbled the ball to 40 yards away from the goal, which was entering the danger zone. He gave up the defense in the middle of the penalty area and went one-on-one with Lanzart!
Lanzart's heart was set!
His eyes bloomed with a firm and sharp light. He was waiting for Galasek!
However, he did not intend to go one-on-one with Galasek. He immediately cooperated with the right midfielder, Moriland, and an exchange of passes changed the rhythm. Galasek was surprised and did not dare to rush to intercept. Lanzart controlled the ball in place, turned sideways, and passed the ball to the middle!
He passed the ball to his teammate plugging in from behind, the slow but explosive long-range shooting ability of Cectioyo!
Lanzart's thinking was very clear. In this offensive and defensive situation, Ajax's defense in the middle was relatively empty. Not only did Heitinga fail to return to his position, but the defensive midfielder, Galasek, was also attracted by him. In addition, Ajax's defensive players were retreating, which would give the teammate plugging in from the middle a very wide space for a long shot. The angle, adjustment space, and technical movements were perfect!
But just after Lanzart passed the ball out, his expression suddenly changed dramatically!
Incredible!
Just as the football left his feet, one of Ajax's retreating midfielders almost simultaneously completed the emergency stop and dashed forward!
Who?
Qin Xiong!
Lanzart was shocked and questioned in his heart, How could it be?
He was sure that when he observed the situation before he passed the ball, Qin Xiong was retreating!
It was impossible for Qin Xiong to immediately move forward as soon as he passed the ball. It was as if Qin Xiong knew that he would do so!
Qin Xiong did not dare to guarantee that Lanzart would pass the ball to the middle.
But he had this kind of foresight.
Considering the situation, Lanzart had already missed the best opportunity to break through Galasek's one-on-one. His adjustment in place meant that he was delaying his own team's offensive speed. Then, his teammates who were running forward would also be negatively affected. But why did he do that? He was definitely creating space for his teammates to plug in from the back, using the entire offensive line as a cover to contain Ajax's rear defensive line!
Therefore, Qin Xiong was on guard against Lanzart passing the ball to his teammates behind him. The one who was closest to him and had the best opportunity was Cectioyou, who was not fast but had unwaveringly charged forward the moment the counterattack began!
After an accurate prediction, Qin Xiong decisively grabbed the ball. Judging from the movement of the football and the distance between the two players, Qin Xiong was at a disadvantage!
However, Qin Xiong was faster than Secctioyo!
Much, much faster!
And he consciously burst forward after Lanzart passed the ball, allowing him to gradually turn his disadvantage into an advantage as he continued to run!
Cectioyou had already done his best and plugged in at the fastest speed. He also saw Qin Xiong in front of him competing with him for this opportunity. He could not retreat, he could not!
At least in the beginning, he had the advantage of distance.
But after Qin Xiong started.
In three steps, the distance between the two players and the ball was about the same. The opportunity became even in the blink of an eye.
After another two steps, Cectioyou's face showed signs of struggle. He knew in his heart that he had lost!
Qin Xiong won!
Another two steps!
Qin Xiong intercepted the ball!
Cectioyou was less than a meter away from the ball!
What was supposed to be a ball control action turned into a steal. Cectioyou had to do this because if he slammed on the brakes and retreated, everything would be over!
If the steal was successful, then not only would he reverse the situation of losing the scramble, but he would also be able to break through Qin Xiong's defensive line. Ajax would only have one center back left to defend in the middle!
Riches and honor were found in danger. On the football field, the ever-changing situation was decided in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye!
Qin Xiong's steal of the ball was actually more like he rushed forward to receive Lanzart's cross pass, so his speed was not affected. His next action after touching the ball was based on Cectioyou's reaction.
Cectioyou supported his body with his left foot and stretched out his right foot to intercept the ball. He had already shifted his center of gravity. In the nick of time, Qin Xiong's right foot gently pushed the ball to the front right, and his body flew away from the front left!
Cectioyou took a step, and Qin Xiong also took a step after the football left his control. The two men each took a step, causing them to pass by each other from the front!
Cold sweat seeped out of Sequoiyou's forehead as his pupils contracted. The moment Qin Xiong passed by him, he was incomparably shocked.
He passed by the ball!
When he stabilized his body's center of gravity again and turned around, Qin Xiong had already bypassed him and regained control of the football, dribbling it forward at a rapid speed!
In the stands, the Ajax fans, who had been frightened by William II's very threatening counterattack, suddenly burst into wild cheers!
In just a moment, Qin Xiong intercepted the ball, broke through, and dribbled the ball to the midfield. William II had five players behind Qin Xiong!
This meant that Ajax had not only successfully defended against the opponent's counterattack, but also got a great opportunity to attack!
The situation fluctuated and suddenly changed, and the focus of the game was Qin Xiong!
After the Ajax players in the front field saw Qin Xiong intercept the ball and break through to reorganize the offense to advance, they all turned to face William II's goal and began to run. The offense erupted in full force!
On the other hand, William II's entire defensive line was a little flustered because his wave of counterattack failed and Qin Xiong dribbled the ball across the half of the field in the blink of an eye!
This change in rhythm was unexpected and as powerful as thunder!
Qin Xiong pushed across the half of the field, and no one came to intercept him.
But he still did not intend to continue dribbling the ball.
Because a player could never run faster than the football.
Every second he stuck to the ball would give William II an extra second to set up the defensive line and adjust the defensive strategy.
Van Der Vaart rushed along the middle and came to the front of the penalty area. He pinned down Mariana and made the center back, Jerian, feel as if there was a knife at his back and was quite fearful.
Qin Xiong passed the ball to Snede on the left side.
At this time, the panicked side of William II's players could be seen. Snede did not pose a threat to the inside of the penalty area and was also quite far away. However, the full back, Victor Rea, crazily rushed to intercept Snede, widening the gap between him and the center back. He himself could not be brought into the penalty area to assist in the defense in a short period of time.
Snede did not expect Victor Rea to rush up like a mad dog. In a panic, he quickly passed the ball back to Qin Xiong.
As for Qin Xiong, he took a step forward and directly sent out a straight ball!
This straight ball made Van Der Vaart want to curse!
Damn it!
Why are you passing to Ibrahimovic again?
Why are you always passing to him?
I'm the captain, I'm the team's scoring champion last season!
But Qin Xiong just stuffed the ball straight to Ibrahimovic.
Van Der Vaart's role in this attack, in Qin Xiong's eyes, was to provide cover for Ibrahimovic and help him attract the attention of the defensive midfielder and the other center back.
Ibrahimovic had a clear advantage in a one-on-one with Van Der Vaart. This time was no exception.
Ibrahimovic used his body to block his position. When the football came over, he always blocked Van Der Vaart with his back!
The 19-year-old center back was going crazy.
He stretched out his leg to intercept behind Ibrahimovic, but was blocked by Ibrahimovic. His leg could not touch the ball at all!
Ibrahimovic took the opportunity to turn after the football rolled over and was about to receive an excellent chance to shoot!
However, just as Ibrahimovic finished turning, he saw in disbelief that the goalkeeper had attacked ahead of time!
Belgium's national goalkeeper, Waverley, attacked very decisively. When Ibrahimovic turned to face the goal, Waverley had already rushed out of the penalty area and was less than two meters away from Ibrahimovic with his arms open!
Ibrahimovic could only reluctantly lift his leg. He wanted to kick the ball through Waverley's crotch!
But Waverley fell to the ground very quickly and almost used a sweep of his leg to block the ball out!
The stands in the stadium were in an uproar!
Ibrahimovic's expression was extremely vexed!
Another good opportunity had been wasted!
However, the Ajax fans in the stands quickly calmed down, full of anticipation.
The ball that was blocked out of the penalty area was kicked to the middle by the goalkeeper. About 35 yards away from the goal, there was an Ajax player there. When he received the ball, he used his right foot to gently push it horizontally. At the same time, he took a step sideways with his left foot, swung his right leg, and completed a shot with not surprising strength.
It was both a long shot and a lob shot from a long distance!
His shot looked light and indifferent. The football flew up lightly and drew a beautiful and unpredictable arc in the air, making the entire audience unable to take their eyes off it.
It was as if a romantic and beautiful rainbow had risen in the sky above the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium, being admired by tens of thousands of people.
The initiator was wearing the Ajax uniform, and the number on the back was 28.
There was a line of English letters with his full name written on it.
Qin Xiong!
