No one expected a life-and-death battle, Ajax would play unrestrained and wild after the opening!

No one expected that in the opening 14 seconds, Ajax scored a blitz goal!

No one expected that the one who scored the goal would be Pienaar!

The outside world predicts that the Ajax player who can play a vital role in the game may be Ibrahimovic, Van der Vaart, or Qin Xiong, who has become popular recently!

However, it was not the three of them, but Pienaar, the player who has received the least attention in the recent Ajax offensive group.

But it is undeniable that Ajax's offensive team has become more and more tacitly coordinated, and the three-dimensional sense of offensive layers is clear at a glance, and it will never give people a sense of sight. There are players in key areas who play unexpected roles!

This is a team success!

At this moment, Pienaar, who was being chased by his teammates, enjoyed the cheers of the Ajax fans in the audience.

The fans were relieved and feared that two consecutive shots hitting the crossbar was a harbinger of doom, but the goal was scored immediately.

All the Bruges players were stunned, and the coach Soled was in a trance.

So, lost the ball?

Not to mention that the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Solled was sitting on the coach's seat, his butt was not hot yet!

Koeman, who was standing on the sidelines, turned around and hugged his assistants to celebrate. He was confident. Of course, the recent state of Ajax showed that they definitely have the strength to crush Brugge!

The team is on the right track!

"Ajax got off to a good start! A goal in the opening 14 seconds, it must be a record goal in the Champions League! The record for the fastest goal in the Champions League was set by Arsenal's Gilberto Silva a year ago Yes, in the UEFA Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven, he broke the record for the fastest goal in the UEFA Champions League in 20.5 seconds! Now, at the Amsterdam Arena, Ajax's Pienaar has broken this record! Specific UEFA officials will definitely make repeated accurate judgments of the goal time, but it must be around 15 seconds. Compared with the achievement of breaking the record, Ajax's current score lead is the most realistic, 1:0, in the real-time standings , Ajax surpassed Brugge and became No.2 in the group! Brugge had a difficult game and suffered a huge blow at the beginning, which may disrupt all their deployment of the game!"

After the whole Ajax team celebrated the goal, the expressions of the generals immediately returned to seriousness. On the way back to halftime, Qin Xiong communicated with his teammates and told everyone to take it back after the re-kick-off and stabilize the ball. scene.

Bruges suffered a sudden blow, and they will inevitably strengthen their offensive after the kick-off. This is certainly not in their plan. At least, coach Soled cannot predict that the team will concede a goal in the first minute!

Is Ajax going to take advantage of the victory?

If this is an ordinary league, it can be played like this.

But this is the Champions League, and stability in the overall situation is the first element!

Ajax has taken the lead, now it is necessary to stabilize the situation and let the opponent be unable to attack. In the psychological warfare, the opponent is forced to kick more and more urgently, and the more he kicks, the more panicked he is!

In order to strengthen the stability of the defense, Koeman let Heitinga sit on the bench, veteran Garasek served as the backbone of the defense, and his partner Escuder ensured the defense in the penalty area.

This has brought the team's defensive quality to a higher level.

Brugge tried to equalize the score after the kick-off. They played more aggressively, but they did not play a tactical effect that caught Ajax off guard.

Their ground pass and cut cannot be carried out in the middle. Qin Xiong's ability to read the game is increasing day by day.

The lone striker Langer is alone in the frontcourt. He is surrounded by Ajax's defensive players in all directions, making him a trapped animal and can only be dying!

The full-backs Materns and Petr Cech attacked on the two sides, one-on-one. They couldn't beat Grigera and Maxwell, and they crossed immediately when they had the opportunity, but the effect of such a cross was simply terrible. , and even a cross from Mattens flew directly out of the bottom line, which was outrageous.

Simmons, Claremont, Helatz, these are all midfielders who are weak in offense and strong in defense. They are the barriers that coach Soled put in the midfield to limit the attack of Ajax's midfielder. Unfortunately, in the opening blitz In offense and defense, they did not play their due role.

Now, when they need to attack, they become a drag on the team!

Once Brugge cooperates with the side and the center, the three midfielders have a very high rate of conceding the ball after they are inserted in the middle.

Ajax's overall defensive technical and tactical ability is relatively stronger. Although Van der Vaart and Sneijder are a little bit of effortless, they are effective as long as they stand in position and contain an area. defense.

The most important thing in the middle, Qin Xiong and Pienaar are midfielders with high defensive enthusiasm, which makes Ajax's defensive quality in the middle and backcourt good.

Ajax stabilized the scene, which naturally weakened the offense and prevented the formation from moving forward, and the distance between the three lines was too long.

There is a lack of delicate, smooth and continuous teamwork in the offense, and most of them rely on two or three players' two-to-one or triangular pass cooperation. There is a threat, but it is not fatal.

Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Pienaar, and Ibrahimovic have all tried individual breakthroughs, and the success rate is not too high. After all, after the opponent's three defensive midfielders withdraw, they can form an efficient zone defense and double-team.

When the game lasted 15 minutes, Ajax's state has been very stable, giving Bruges the feeling: 1:0, enough!We will advance to the round of 16!

The full-backs De Cook and Van den Heide witnessed the team's weak attack in the midfield and being double-teamed by the opponent. The two of them knew that if Bruges could not play the established tactics of defense, then the positional battle In the attack, there will be no threat if you fight one by one!

Although Belgium is not a particularly strong football country in the European map, it was once all-powerful. The European Red Devils became famous for a while. This is inseparable from the pioneers' research on football tactics when developing national football. They used to be like seekers. , thinking about the way to win on the green field like a football tactics research team in a Hungarian cafe.

Therefore, Belgian players are actually growing up, and the tactical knowledge instilled by the club is not behind. It cannot be said to lead the trend, but at least keep pace with the times. This is one of the reasons why the Dutch giants chose Belgium as a "talent base". , Among the three giants in the Netherlands, many of the youth training seedlings are from Belgium.

De Cook and Van den Heide, native Belgian players, know what the team needs most now.

Unexpected attack point!

This is also one of the core ideas in the development of football tactics in the past half century.

Hide the attack point!

From 9 forwards, to 7 forwards, 5 forwards, 4 forwards, 3 forwards...

The number of forwards is constantly decreasing. In addition to strengthening defense and emphasizing midfield control and other factors, the most intuitive thing is that if the offense wants to bloom more points and make the opponent hard to defend, it must hide some offensive points.

Seeing the team's attack like a pool of stagnant water, De Cook and Van den Heide gritted their teeth, unable to sit back and watch Ajax keep the fruits of victory steadily!

We could win at San Siro, why not here?

Ajax lost all three games!

We only lost one game!

Why do you go to the round of 16?

Why!

Not to accept, not to accept, not to accept! ! !

De Cook and Van den Heide rushed forward from the wing with wild momentum to participate in the attack, trying to become an unexpected attack point that tore apart Ajax's defensive system.

However, they may not have expected it.

As the brain of Ajax's midfielder, Qin Xiong has been paying attention to the changes in player positions and formations of both teams.

When the two full-backs stepped forward, Qin Xiong's eyes suddenly turned sharp!

Pienaar actively participated in the defense, and cooperated with Maxwell on the left to trap De Cook, who stepped forward to participate in the attack.

After Maxwell steals the ball, he immediately passes the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong who is running in the middle of the midfield.

After Qin Xiong touched the ball and turned around, he suddenly accelerated!

When he started to accelerate and dribble, Ajax's offensive system seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, forming a tacit whole and starting to operate.

Like a calm lion, it begins to show its bloody fangs to its prey!
