Listening to thunder in silence!
Ibrahimovic's goal was like a bolt from the blue to the entire Alkmaar team, including the fans in the stands!
No, it should be the addition of lightning and thunder to the wind and rain, rumbling loudly!
A goal?
Ajax, just like that, scored?
It looked like it was easy!
And Qin Xiong, who created this goal, made all of the Alkmaar people terrified!
This China player seemed to have the magical power to turn the clouds and the rain with a flip of his hand!
Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, performed a thunderous strike, shocking the heavens in an instant!
Ibrahimovic, with a headband on his head, trotted over and pointed his finger at Qin Xiong in the distance. Then he jumped up slightly and waved his right fist, his face full of pride.
"Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Ajax! The assisting player is Qin Xiong. He performed a direct assist from a long distance in the first half of the game. Too wonderful, too unexpected! Qin Xiong made the game very easy to watch. He raised the ball from the midfield, and the ball bounced in front of the penalty area. When it fell, Ibrahimovic stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed the ball to score! "
Comain applauded Ibrahimovic's goal from the sidelines. At the same time, he looked at Qin Xiong with undisguised admiration!
Looking back now, he could understand what Qin Xiong was doing. This was a rare quality!
Thinking!
A true brain of a team must have the ability to think, to think according to the game environment. This was also the reason why many midfield playmakers with excellent technical ability were unable to reach the top. Just relying on technical ability was not enough. Playmakers who could think, who could use wisdom to play, had amazing spiritual energy, and often could do things that others could not imagine.
In the stands, Freddy, wearing a raincoat, raised his chin proudly.
Today was another rain match. He was not worried at all!
He knew Qin Xiong very well. He could imagine how excited Qin Xiong would be when they fought in the rain again.
He did not witness how Qin Xiong strengthened his training in the rain environment at the club, but he did witness how Qin Xiong returned to his apartment every day and washed his muddy sneakers in the bathroom alone. He repeated the same thing every day after training. That was Qin Xiong. He knew his limits and was quietly changing himself!
Genius?
Of course, he had to be down-to-earth.
As for geniuses, they should also have talent.
Qin Xiong's greatest talent was his way of thinking.
Not only was he overcoming difficulties and improving himself, but he also knew how to make use of them and be ahead of others in terms of thinking.
Perhaps other people would only try to adapt to the rain environment, but for Qin Xiong, from the moment he had the confidence in his heart, he would think about how to use his advantage in such an environment and how to make use of it!
In a rain match, the friction of the football after bouncing off the ground would change. The speed of the ball would become unpredictable. Sometimes it would be fast and sometimes it would be slow. But once one grasped the pattern, they could still make use of it.
Qin Xiong would not directly give Ibrahimovic a long pass. If the ball landed on Ibrahimovic, it would be too obvious and too easy for the opponent to break.
After the bouncing ball had a second acceleration, this point could definitely be made use of.
In order to do this, Qin Xiong controlled the rhythm. The slower the better, to let the opponent's two defensive midfielders leave the area where the ball would land. This way, Qin Xiong would have space to play!
In a sense, this long pass, Qin Xiong defeated Alkmaar's defensive line in the middle field.
And Ibrahimovic, he defeated Weijack!
Compared to Weijack as a center back, Ibrahimovic's prediction of the ball was more sensitive. As a center forward, regardless of training or competition, Ibrahimovic's ability to receive passes from his teammates and predict the ball's path was one of his most important abilities. In other words, if he could not accurately predict the ball's path, how would he receive? How would he reach? How would he seize the opportunity?
Adrianse's heart was filled with unwillingness!
Letting the rain hit his face, his face was cold.
Ajax's goal was a huge blow to the team's spirit!
Because after the start of the match, Alkmaar was obviously more active and worked harder!
But Ajax was like a noble, leisurely facing the match. Unfortunately, Ajax was in the lead!
It was talent that defeated sweat!
There was no need to deny it!
If Weijack had the prediction of a top center back, he would definitely be able to stop Ibrahimovic's goal. His starting position was better than Ibrahimovic's!
Alkmaar had worked tirelessly since the start of the match, resolutely attacking Ajax's defensive line again and again. They had obviously put in more effort and sweat than their opponents. But, they could not withstand Qin Xiong's simple but threatening pass!
What kind of logic was this?
It did not make sense!
In a football match, there was no such thing as following the prescribed order and persevering hard work that would definitely be rewarded!
This was also the charm of a football match.
No one would doubt that Qin Xiong's pass was a stroke of luck, because that was the only pass he had made in the opening 20 minutes. It was simple, but it contained great wisdom!
That was the magic of a genius on the field. Mortals could only envy and hate!
Accept your fate?
Bow your head?
Adrianse lowered his head, his expression showing a moment of malevolence. When he raised his head again, he waved his hands wildly at the players on the field.
Attack!
Attack wildly!
Regardless of the cost, attack!
The whole world knew that Ajax would be facing the defending champions of the Champions League, AC Milan in four days. They were Ajax's number one opponent!
As for Alkmaar?
Don't look at how Comain had deployed his troops. Just looking at Ajax's attitude on the field today, all the Alkmaar players had a direct feeling. That feeling was very sullen: Ajax did not even look them in the eye!
This feeling was very sad.
Yes, what was Alkmaar? In the long river of time of the Eredivisie, what role did Alkmaar play?
Ajax was the backbone of Dutch football, the king of this orange land!
Why do I have to look you in the eye?
You should be the one worshipping me, trembling under my majesty!
Every person who challenged the throne, had the resolve to raise their butcher's knife and become the king slayer!
Adrianse, Alkmaar, even if they were not as talented as Ajax, they still had to, in front of the king, defy their superiors!
You want to win without shedding a single drop of blood?
Dream on!
Even if you want to step on our corpses, you still have to endure our resistance!
The direction of the match was beyond Qin Xiong's expectations.
When Ajax took the lead, it seemed that his teammates were more relaxed.
Originally, as long as they did not lose, Ajax could accept it. This was their bottom line: Do not lose.
After all, the real battle would be in four days!
But since the score was in the lead, it seemed that victory was within their grasp. Everyone had tacitly entered into a state of mental preparation.
On the other hand, Alkmaar, under the mental stimulation of Adrianse, not only did he not panic after losing the ball, he seemed to be unaffected, as though the score was a draw, he became more and more courageous!
One could see the flames burning in their bodies, the wind and rain could not stop them from moving forward!
The whole team seemed to have been injected with stimulants.
Both sides of the back, the four midfielders, all pressed forward!
Many of them were blue-collared warriors, they relied on their stamina, physical confrontation, and even their careless chopping movements when defending!
Then, they would use these advantages to their advantage!
From the moment they restarted the match, the situation, took a turn for the worse!
Ajax not only did not manage to salvage the situation from the start of the match, but instead seemed to have been destroyed.
Van der Vaart, who had an elegant temperament, did not contribute to the defense at all. In front of Alkmaar, who seemed to be in a mess, charging and attacking fiercely, the outstanding captain seemed to have lost his direction and was at a loss of what to do.
Sikora was repeatedly knocked to the ground, Snede was also repeatedly knocked down. Ajax's entire team's offensive and defensive system, was turned upside down by the opponent's beast-like attacks, and was on the verge of collapse!
Qin Xiong simply retreated to the front of the back line, and formed a double defensive midfielder with De Rong, blocking the opponent's frontal attacks, and also helping to defend the flanks.
At this time, Qin Xiong was still the most active player on the field, he was putting out fires everywhere!
But, at the same time, his role as an organizer could not be played.
When switching between offense and defense, his position was not good, and he was unable to immediately launch a counterattack. At the same time, the opponent pressed forward without any regard for their lives, forming a dense blockade in his path forward. The crazy opponent was counter-attacking, surrounding him. He did not dare to concede the ball, otherwise, once he did, the opponent would immediately launch a quick attack. Furthermore, he was in a dangerous zone, and that would definitely be a major mistake!
Qin Xiong tried to directly head behind the opponent to find Ibrahimovic, but the open space in the rainy environment was disadvantageous for such an effective long counterattack. It was still the same problem, as long as the ball landed and accelerated again, Ibrahimovic would not be able to catch up, and the ball would be confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Alkmaar suddenly used a violent and crazy method to destroy Ajax, and his style shocked Qin Xiong!
If Ajax was in the Netherlands, he displayed arrogance and talent to the outside world, then Alkmaar was personally telling everyone a story of courage and willpower.
