Park Ji-sung was successfully frozen by Qin Xiong!
First of all, the Korean player could not dribble too much. He would frequently pass the ball to the flank, but his offensive threat was from the back. In the dangerous area, Qin Xiong had a keen insight into Park Ji-sung's route from the back. At the same time, he was not inferior in terms of speed. He could completely eliminate the threat of Park Ji-sung's plugging in from the back!
However, Qin Xiong could no longer split himself to block van Bommel's long shot from outside the penalty area. Fortunately, the distance to the goal was far. As long as van Bommel's long shot was not too tricky, it was not too big of a problem.
In this country where offensive football was radical, it was harder to make the opponent not shoot at all or have no chance to shoot at all.
The reason why Qin Xiong felt powerless was that PSV Eindhoven mainly focused on the flank. The middle was not the main battlefield for offense and advancement.
He could only assist in defense in the middle and could not run wildly to the flank. Otherwise, Park Ji-sung and van Bommel would definitely play De Rong to death.
On the other hand, Romedar and Robben on the flank were very strong in their ability to dribble and advance to tear apart the defensive line.
It made Qin Xiong feel that PSV Eindhoven's main offensive means just bypassed his core defensive area!
As the midfield commander, in this tactical system, he really could not run around freely in defense. It was not because of physical strength or speed. The core factor was that if he did not exist in a core area, where would he be when his teammates controlled the ball and needed him to organize the offense?
Because his starting position was not reasonable, or too close to the flank, or too far behind, it would affect the quality and speed of an attack.
Even if his teammates surrounded him, he could not willfully deviate from everyone's field of vision. Moreover, the team needed his contribution the most. Just like Pirlo and Zidane, their defensive attitude, the outside world and the coach would not be harsh.
Because of this, even though Qin Xiong could see the threat of Robben and Romedar, it was difficult for him to personally restrict them.
PSV Eindhoven played more cautiously and cleverly. The two flanks alternated to attack and bombard, constantly causing Ajax's defense line to sway left and right, virtually tearing apart the horizontal width of the defense line.
They did try to attack by plugging in from behind the middle, but Qin Xiong was closely marking Park Ji-sung and would not give him open space to move forward. This caused PSV Eindhoven's several attacks to fail.
Under Qin Xiong's command, Ajax's offense shone with power. However, the routine was still somewhat rigid. As long as the opponent's midfield line contracted in front of the back line, it became a difficult battle to break through the dense defense. It was difficult to break through the opponent's defensive line.
In the 74th minute of the game, Robben, who had once again switched to the right flank, received the ball on the flank. He used his left foot to skillfully dribble. Originally, he was walking in a straight line towards the direction of the end line. However, at the position parallel to the penalty area, he suddenly kicked the ball horizontally and developed into the penalty area!
Maxwell understood Robben's intention and had already gone to defend the inside line. This time, he did not care about the space behind him to steal because Park Ji-sung was successfully restricted by Qin Xiong's defense.
However, even so, Maxwell still failed to steal!
Robben's pace was too fast. When Maxwell's foot stretched out, in a flash, Robben took the initiative to kick the ball again, and Maxwell missed. Because it was the edge of the penalty area with one foot in the penalty area, Maxwell did not dare to use his body to hit Robben for fear of being awarded a penalty kick. After all, this was the Philips Stadium!
Robben almost brushed past Maxwell's face. Eskuder had already lowered his center of gravity when he moved to defend. He was very afraid that Robben would spike the ball to break through him at the end line. However, Robben still kicked the ball horizontally and adjusted the direction of his face. He was facing in the direction of the opposite sideline and did not look like he was going to go towards the goal at all.
Robben's rhythm paused when Dirong came back. Dirong seemed to have run over his head and used his foot to kick the ball. The tip of his foot missed the ball by a hair's breadth. After Robben adjusted the rhythm between slow and fast, he suddenly burst into speed again and flashed past Dirong.
At this time, he already had an angle to shoot. In the process of dribbling horizontally, he was closer to the middle of the goal and also swayed out of the angle.
When Qin Xiong had decided to give up Park Ji-sung to intercept Robben, Peter Pan shot!
He kicked the ball very confidently.
The ball that was shot out rolled quickly along the turf and sped toward the lower left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper, Lobonte, flew to save, but because the angle was too tricky, his hand still could not touch the ball even though he flew to the extreme.
The ball rolled into the goal along the inside of the goal!
The Philips Stadium was boiling!
"Robben! Robben! Robben scored the leading goal! 2: 1, Robben simply does whatever he wants in front of Ajax! He is too good. No wonder many of Europe's powerhouses have already launched substantial pursuit of him! "
The defense line of the Jax Empire was really weak in front of Robbin, and they didn't know what to do.
They were also a little annoyed and did not understand what was going on.
Qin Xiong knew that if Robben was allowed to break through Ajax's players one-on-one, there would certainly not be such a subversive gap in the game.
The key was Robben's way of playing. He cut into the weakest point of the defensive line, making both the mid- and long lines and the rear defensive line difficult. Not only would there be hesitation in thinking, but the defense itself would also not be used to it.
Continuous horizontal dribbling across the defensive zone between many people would disrupt the coordination of the defensive side's defensive zone. Sorry, there was almost no defensive concept based on man-marking in modern football. Basically, the defensive task of man-marking was added on top of the zonal defense.
After Robben scored, this time, it was no longer a simple smile, but an insolent, arrogant, and insufferably arrogant laugh. The expression he showed was arrogant and natural.
It was as if he could decide the game, as if he was overlooking all living things from the orange land!
Hiddink also raised his arms on the sidelines and shook it powerfully. It was just a shake, but it showed his dominance. He was leading the defending Eredivisie champion!
Qin Xiong was expressionless and his brain was working quickly. In terms of defense, there was not much he could change.
His main task was still to attack.
Ajax's offense was already very smooth and operated on a mature offensive routine. Unfortunately, it only bloomed and did not bear any fruit.
To break PSV Eindhoven's solid defense, he had to find another way out!
Riches and honor were found in danger, and the game was always risky.
Qin Xiong intended to try a new offensive routine to create opportunities.
After the restart of the game, it was obvious that PSV paid more attention to defense as the game entered the final stage.
Comain and Ajax were on the substitutes' bench. Everyone frowned and seemed to despair of the team's adversity.
A few minutes after Ajax's restart of the game, Qin Xiong strengthened his wide range of running, sometimes left and sometimes right, disrupting Park Ji-sung's defensive awareness.
In the 83rd minute, Qin Xiong made a bold offensive decision.
He dribbled the ball from the middle and developed diagonally. Park Ji-sung retreated step by step, but Qin Xiong did not attack the front. He dribbled the ball to the left side, close to Snede.
He almost overlapped with Snede's position. He was less than five meters away from Snede. After the two exchanged passes twice, Snede had an "epiphany" and understood what Qin Xiong was going to do.
Then, after receiving Qin Xiong's pass again, Snede did not pass the ball. Park Ji-sung was already close to Qin Xiong's side, as if waiting for Snede to pass the ball and steal it.
Snede dribbled the ball.
What made PSV Eindhoven confused was that Snede dribbled the ball back!
He dribbled the ball diagonally towards the back in the middle!
What was he doing?
Was he crazy?
No!
While Snede dribbled the ball, Qin Xiong and Snede crossed each other. The two had completed a switch!
Snede went to the middle and Qin Xiong took over from Snede to the left side.
While this switch was taking place, PSV Eindhoven's defensive line seemed to be frozen and did not dare to act rashly.
When Snede dribbled the ball to the middle, he suddenly passed the ball diagonally back to Qin Xiong!
Running and passing the ball in the opposite direction. These two reversals were completely unexpected to PSV Eindhoven.
When Park Ji-sung reacted and went to intercept Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong sped up after touching the ball and brushed past him!
In front of the penalty area, Qin Xiong also dribbled horizontally, similar to Robben's!
Vogel turned around to steal the ball. Qin Xiong's control of the ball paused and deftly pulled the ball back by thirty centimeters. Following the back of Vogel's center of gravity, he brushed past Vogel again!
Van Bommel was distracted by Van Der Vaart and wanted to come to his rescue, but it seemed that distant water could not put out a nearby fire.
Ibrahimovic was sandwiched by two center backs in the penalty area. At this moment, the two center backs dared not act rashly for fear that they would release Ibrahimovic as soon as they went forward. That would be equivalent to releasing a prehistoric beast in front of their own goal!
It was in this delicate situation that Qin Xiong seemed to be able to understand Robben's feeling of being in a no-man 's-land!
In the midst of the chaos, it seemed dangerous but was not.
Qin Xiong also found an angle to shoot from in the middle of the penalty area. He made a perfect shooting pose and shot the football out in one go!
Bang!
The football, which flew past like a meteor, blasted into the upper right corner of PSV Eindhoven's goal in the blink of an eye!
Qin Xiong used almost the same method as Robben to score the equalizing goal in the opposite direction!
Tens of thousands of fans in Philips Stadium witnessed the official rise of China's players in Europe!
