When the Ajax bus drove into the city of Heerenveen, Qin Xiong, who was sitting in the bus, saw the beautiful city scene in winter, covered with silver frost all the way, like being in a fairy tale, beautiful and quiet.

Today's weather has improved, with small snowflakes floating in the sky, which is much better than yesterday's heavy snow.

Although the Dutch Football Association rejected Heerenveen's proposal, there is still room for maneuver, that is, when the game starts, the referee can decide whether to play the game according to the weather conditions.

Judging by the light snow weather today, the game should not be cut short.

The bus drove into Heerenveen's home court, and Sneijder was the first to get off the bus.

He looked around, as if he was not used to the weather which was much colder than Amsterdam, he rubbed his hands and let out a breath, the rising heat was clearly visible.

Suddenly his head felt warm, and someone behind him put on a thermal hat. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Xiong.

Sneijder raised his hand and pulled his hat down to cover his ears, and then went to the visiting team's locker room under the guidance of Heerenveen staff.

The Ajax players added thermal underwear and long-sleeved winter jerseys in the locker room, and some players even wore gloves, such as Qin Xiong.

They also wore thermal hats to warm up on the court.

The Abronstra Stadium is not large, with a capacity of no more than 2 people.

There is a lot of snow on the side of the stadium, and you can build a snowman. Inside the stadium, there are still staff cleaning up the snow that has accumulated in the past two hours. There is no way, the small stadium does not have a geothermal system.

When the players from both sides walked into the field with their heads held high, there was no snow on the field, and the referee walked in the front with a red ball for snow games.

It was still snowing in the sky, and the players couldn't help but move around frequently before kick-off after entering the field to ensure that their bodies did not cool down.

Heerenveen coach De Haan stood expressionlessly on the sidelines.

The plot didn't work.

But it doesn't matter, since Ajax insisted on coming, he chose to "avoid the war"!

Players who focus on training like Samaras are simply placed on the bench.

He sent a group of blue-collar fighters, just to stop Ajax's progress.

Even if he loses, De Haan can accept it, don't be slaughtered, damage the team's confidence, whatever.

The game started.

Qin Xiong and his teammates started running, from slow to fast, and after the physical condition was mobilized, they began to put pressure on Heerenveen.

Heerenveen is a bastard who eats weights and is determined to stick to it.

Even if it is your own home field!

Qin Xiong organized three threatening offensives into the penalty area but failed.

He clearly felt that the overall fluency of the team had improved compared to the previous game.

But still not back to the best form before the winter break.

It doesn't matter, take your time.

There is an improvement, which is a sign of recovery.

Heerenveen surrounded the penalty area tightly, and it is obviously impossible for Ajax to end the opponent in the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic is much more calm than at the beginning of the season, and he is not in a hurry.

After 20 minutes in the first half, Qin Xiong gestured to Ibrahimovic Yaoyao, meaning let's take a long shot, and Ibrahimovic nodded to him.

He started to turn into a pivot center.

Under the control of Qin Xiong, Ajax's offensive passed smoothly from the outside and no longer developed offensives in the penalty area. However, there must be threats in the penalty area.

There must be those who stand upright and those who run.

Sneijder and van der Vaart took turns to move into the penalty area, diverting the attention of the opponent's defense. This is a tactical intimidation!

But Ajax's threatening shots all came from the outside.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Sneijder cooperated with Pinar in the frontcourt. Maxwell stepped in from the wing.

There was a lot of space on the outside of Lingyi, because Sneijder took away two Heerenveen defenders, but Pienaar passed the ball to Maxwell.

When the Brazilian attracted another defender to press, he suddenly passed the ball back to Pienaar, who was on the left side of the center.

Heerenveen was restrained by too many troops in this wave of defense, Sneijder, Maxwell, and Pinar!

Belgian Wilbister and Polish midfielder Radomski rushed towards Pinar aggressively.

Seeing this, Pienaar was not surprised but delighted, and his mentality was particularly joyful.

Because, he passed the ball!

He pushed the ball lightly across, and on his right, Heerenveen exposed a lot of space.

After Ajax's offense contained most of the opponent's defensive forces, it created the best shooting opportunities for teammates.

Pienaar's calm passing of the ball is in great contrast to his teammate's fast running.

The person who rushed up from the area behind him was Qin Xiong!

He thanked Pienaar for the good ball, it was so comfortable.

There is no need to stop the ball. He adjusted his pace while running, watching the opponent's goalkeeper's position, shooting angle and line.

Then he rushed up and blasted a shocking long shot!

The football didn't rotate at all, and it was flying like a dragon!

boom!

Straight to the corner!

The visually stunning long-range shot blasted away Heerenveen's goal!

Qin Xiong, who was wearing gloves and a long-sleeved shirt, let out a long breath, especially in the cold weather. He slowed down, turned around and gave Pinar a high-five to celebrate.

His teammates came to celebrate with him one after another. Judging from the running and cooperation in the first half, their state is improving, and everyone feels it.

But, it's not the best yet, so of course they are not satisfied.

Ajax's offensive system is flexible and changeable. Since it doesn't work in the penalty area, then create opportunities on the outside. In a mature technical and tactical system, such changes are not difficult.

Heerenveen doesn't seek victory, she accepts a draw, and even if she falls behind, she wins as much as she loses.

This is the reality of the weak team, the ideal is too far away.

De Haan didn't make any changes, and Heerenveen stuck to it as always.

Ajax scored a goal in the first half and temporarily led the score.

In the second half, they also firmly created long-range opportunities for the outside.

This game was also very difficult. In addition to the influence of the weather and the venue environment, Heerenveen's defensive posture was a test of the team's psychological quality.

Fortunately, Ajax's temperament in the league is still very stable, which may be related to their huge advantage in the standings.

It wasn't until the 80th minute of the second half that Ajax had a long-range shot from the right outside the penalty area by Van der Vaart. The goalkeeper made a save and Ibrahimovic scored the second goal with a supplementary shot in front of the goal.

In the end, 2:0.

Ajax won the away game without bloodshed.

Back in the locker room, the Ajax players still did not celebrate, and everyone encouraged and affirmed each other in unison.

In a difficult away game, they played much better than the previous game. The offense was very smooth, but the environment was limited, and the rhythm still failed to reach the fastest level in the past.

The status is improving and the confidence is recovering.

After Ajax's winter break, with the joint efforts of the players and the coach, they supported the battle with battles, and walked on the ideal track, moving forward, unwilling to stop, unwilling to retreat, moving forward!

After leaving the cold Heerenveen and returning to the slightly warmer Amsterdam, Ajax suddenly became lively in the game against The Hague at home three days later.

After the difficult victory over Nijmegen, Ajax fans also had concerns: How can they beat Arsenal in this state?

But after watching Ajax play The Hague, the fans completely let go of their worries.

In the 67th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward in the midfield. After his teammates moved to contain the opponent's defensive force, he created a space and line for him to go straight to Huanglong. He dribbled and broke through boldly and decisively.

He first deceived the opponent's midfielder Hussman with a fake faxed technical action, then raised his speed, slowed down in front of the midfielder Van der Ligt, and accelerated the opponent by pulling the ball horizontally with a rhythm difference. Finally, in front of the penalty area, Den Hague defender Rafala shoveled head-on, giving Qin Xiong a chance to perform a Marseille maneuver.

Dodging Rafala's tackle and turning forward, Qin Xiong has already formed a single goal. When the goalkeeper De Gut abandoned the goal, Qin Xiong calmly volleyed the near corner of the goal. The half-high ball made the goalkeeper helpless, and the football hit the net .

Ajax fans in the stands of the Amsterdam Arena stood up and applauded.

Qin Xiong scored the team's fourth goal!

Rewrite the score to 4:0.

And his series of thrilling and wonderful performances have already conquered the fans, who regard him as the darling and the indispensable core of Ajax.
