The drizzling rain continued. DSB Stadium was a newly built stadium, and the drainage function was well done. Although the ground was slippery, there were no puddles.
When the two teams returned to the field to prepare for the second half, Qin Xiong paid close attention to the mental state of Alkmaar's players.
The score was a draw, but the opponent's fighting spirit was obviously stronger, as if victory was right in front of them.
This could be due to them suppressing Ajax for a long time in the first half. Maybe in the changing room, their teammates were secretly chatting and making fun of Ajax. Looks like, the local king was beaten to a pulp by them!
Before kickoff, Qin Xiong and his teammates nodded solemnly to each other, reaching a tacit understanding that outsiders did not know.
Adrian Ansel's face was still as calm as water, but his eyes were burning with the flames of kingslaying!
From the start of the second half, Alkmaar directly mobilized all of their firepower, continuing their ferocious attacks from the first half!
Ajax still looked like he was having a hard time, and even took the initiative to retreat, retreating step by step!
Snede retreated to the midfield line, he did not look like a winger, and retreated to become a midfielder.
Van Der Vaart retreated to a position almost parallel to Qin Xiong's position, both of them were midfielders.
Only Sikora pressed forward from the side, looking like a winger, attracting the opponent's defensive firepower.
Alkmaar saw this, and displayed the momentum of swallowing the whole world, overpowering half of the field, attacking wildly!
In the 47th minute, Mildik did not succeed in a pass from the side, and the ball was intercepted by Maxwell.
After the successful interception, Maxwell immediately dribbled the ball forward along the side, but he was quickly attacked by the opponent's huge assist Aopudan. Maxwell did not stick to the ball, the reason why he dribbled the ball forward was to give his teammates time to run to the gaps to support.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Qin Xiong took the initiative to run to support, and he immediately sent the ball out.
Qin Xiong stopped the ball and turned around at the same time, in one breath, he completed the turn and directly moved forward.
At this moment, Snede was on his left, and Van Der Vaart was slightly in front of him on his right.
In front of the three of them, Ibrahimovic was in the middle and didn't go deep into the enemy's defensive zone. Sikora pressed the position of the enemy's full-back, Keller, and was ready to counter offside at any time.
Adrian frowned at the side of the field. Ajax's way of pushing had changed!
Three players with strong ball control abilities lined up almost parallel to each other!
On the other hand, Alkmaar's pressure was much greater, giving his opponent a lot of space to advance.
Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward while Snede and Van Der Vaart supported him on both sides. The three of them maintained a sufficient distance for short passes.
All of a sudden, the Alkmaar defense line felt like it was facing a great enemy.
When Buskermolen and Walters were guarding the defensive midfield area, Qin Xiong suddenly pulled the ball horizontally, swung out a gap, and passed the football between the two players.
Ibrahimovic's position was actually more awkward. He dared not move in the four-man zone!
With two center backs and two defensive midfielders, he couldn't even control the ball too much.
But the moment the football rolled over, he, who was holding the ball with his back, directly kicked the ball to the left side!
Before that, after Qin Xiong kicked the ball out, he and Snede ran in a cross position!
The two of them changed positions and interfered with Alkmaar's defensive midfielders. They didn't know how to mark them.
Ibrahimovic's pass returned to Qin Xiong's feet, but Qin Xiong's position was already on the left side of the penalty area. Qin Xiong didn't stop the ball, and passed the ball to the middle, to Snede!
From the rolling trajectory of the football, it was a simple triangle pass, but if Qin Xiong and Snede ran in a cross position, it became even more confusing!
Alkmaar's defensive midfielders were completely panicking!
As they wavered, Buskermolen went to chase Qin Xiong, and the defensive area in the middle widened. Snede ran from the back to the front, and Qin Xiong's pass allowed him to directly break through Walters. Walters couldn't defend against both sides. On his left, Van Der Vaart was in front, and on his right, Snede. He was in a dilemma!
At that moment, Ibrahimovic turned around and rushed into the penalty area. He became the player closest to the goal, and Snede was right behind him, ready to send a through ball at any time. The two opposing center backs also had the tendency to close the door and kill Ibrahimovic's chance to get the ball.
Snede passed the ball anyway.
He diagonally passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and a figure burst into the penalty area. The football rolled a meter behind Lindberg, and he used his left foot to control it. Then, he dribbled the ball with his left foot and took a step forward. He swung his leg slightly and pushed the ball. The football rolled along the turf towards the far corner of the goal. The angle was extremely tricky!
The goalkeeper, Timor, flew as fast as he could, but he couldn't interfere with the rolling football. He looked back and watched the football roll into the corner of the goal!
"Van Der Vaart has scored! Captain Ajax has helped the team take the lead again! At the start of the second half, Ajax played a blitzkrieg, and with wonderful coordination, he tore apart Alkmaar's defense and successfully took the lead again! "
Van Der Vaart wiped the rain off his face, and then opened his arms to celebrate the goal excitedly!
Everyone chased after Van Der Vaart to the corner flag area, and then hugged each other.
Qin Xiong didn't score, and he didn't directly assist, but Van Der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, and Snede all hugged his head and laughed together, roaring excitedly!
It was a success!
That was Qin Xiong's idea for the second half of the game.
A blitzkrieg!
Alkmaar was too aggressive!
Ajax didn't need to go head-to-head with the opponent. They played to their strengths and strengths, ball control!
As long as they didn't stretch the line and pushed forward layer by layer, the opponent would press too much, and there would be enough space in the backfield for Ajax's geniuses to run and coordinate. They would tear apart the opponent's defense bit by bit, and then the knife would fall!
Even Sikora, who wasn't informed by Qin Xiong in advance, actually participated in the attack. He attracted Keller's attention from the winger position, reducing the resistance in the penalty area. Qin Xiong wouldn't ask his teammates to do things beyond their abilities. For example, Sikora's biggest advantage was his personal speed, dribbling the ball and breaking through. It wasn't that he couldn't return to the side midfielder position to coordinate with the midfield line, but the effect was too small, especially since he didn't have a comprehensive sense of positioning.
After the end of the Dutch national derby, Qin Xiong's thinking for this team was based on the attributes of the attacking team members. For example, Snede and Van Der Vaart both had a sense of positioning on the flanks and in the middle. They were capable of playing as attacking midfielders, side midfielders, wingers, and shadow forwards!
Qin Xiong could do it himself. Although he might not be outstanding if he went to the winger position, he would not be so unfamiliar with it that he would not become so clumsy that he could not even kick the ball. In that case, they could give birth to richer and more unpredictable offensive creativity!
This goal would set the tone for the game.
It would change the game from "out of control" to Ajax regaining control of the game!
If Alkmaar dared to continue to play recklessly, then Jax would be able to do the same thing to Jax and score the same goal.
At the moment when Van Der Vaart scored, the scene in front of Adrianse's eyes seemed to have been turned upside down!
All of his fantasies were shattered!
Ajax, after adjusting and stabilizing in the midfield, had miraculously grasped Alkmaar's seven inches at the start of the second half!
It was as if there was a sword of Damocles hanging over Alkmaar's head. If Alkmaar dared to make any rash moves, he would be struck by lightning!
Ajax didn't need to panic, he didn't need to compete with his opponent to see who was more brutish, and he didn't need to be led by his opponent to speed up the game. Since he was going to outsmart his opponent, of course, he would use his strategy to suppress his opponent!
With the talent of the team, Ajax could give up the initiative of the game, but would Alkmaar dare to continue to charge forward?
Comain finally regained his composure by the side of the field.
Qin Xiong's improvement was like flying, while integrating into Ajax's team, he had also stabilized his position as the midfield commander. He was able to calmly analyze the situation on the field, and lead the team to respond to the game in the right and reasonable way, and he also excelled in fulfilling the requirements of the manager.
In this game, Ajax couldn't overexert himself, and this goal was even more important than the result of the game!
In this game, he would counter every move that came his way. Ajax was no longer afraid of Alkmaar, unless they still had a trump card, a trump card.
Adrianse gritted his teeth. The situation now, was similar to when he coached Ajax in the past?
He had great ambitions, everything seemed to be under his control, but suddenly, things took a turn for the worse, and the plot began to fall apart!
It caught him off guard, and he could only taste the pain himself!
