When Ajax and Arsenal passed the initial stage of solid defense, both sides began to burst out their own good offensive routines.

Although Ajax sits at home and has a geographical advantage, but Arsenal is mainly defensive. When playing a fast break, once Ajax adds troops to the frontcourt, their offensive threat will be the first to explode!

In the 27th minute, Ashley Cole pressed on again, this time he and Pires switched positions on the left.

After a two-for-one cooperation, Ashley Cole cut into the inside line. Qin Xiong was very surprised by this cooperation.

In European football, full-backs have long been a flexible point of view for coaches.

Conformist, full-backs, that is literally wide-backs, are defensive.

But in most giants, the full-back must have a good assist ability, that is to say, when the full-back participates in the offense, he will become a full-back or a winger at a certain moment, just like AC Milan's Caladze, Ajax Maxwell of Sri Lanka, the dual card of the Brazilian national team and so on.

In the more brilliant use of full-backs, full-backs can run long distances and cut into the penalty area to become forwards, commonly known as "change fronts". In today's European football, the top full-backs are priceless. If you have money, you may not be able to buy them. Full-back players who can be full-backs, full-backs, wingers, and change forwards are very scarce.

Ashley Cole's brilliance this season is inseparable from Wenger's training. Leigh Cole can get the selfless support of his teammates when he cuts into the penalty area. As a classical winger, he may get the ball on the side of the front field and rarely pass the ball to a full-back.

Arsenal's sharp left attack caused headaches for the Ajax defense.

The core is that Arsenal hides the offensive point.

Whether it's a defender or a defensive midfielder, more attention is paid to the opponent's forward, and the midfielder's back is on the defense. In such a top game, defending against Henry is already difficult. If Bergkamp goes forward, the pressure Doubling, Pires and Ljungberg's inward running ability is extremely dreadful, Vieira's back penetration is also not to be underestimated, coupled with Ashley Cole who is elusive and powerful, Ajak How could Si not be surprised and flustered?

Ashley Cole's cut inside the box gives the depth of the attack and keeps the Ajax defense wide-ranging, Grigera is attracted by Pires, Ashley Cole faces Heitinga inside the box He didn't force himself, and directly passed the ball back to the top of the arc in the triangle penalty area.

At this time, Qin Xiong and Garasek guard against Henry together.

The athletic Henry occupies a favorable position, and Qin Xiong has no choice but to give up the interception and occupy a frontal defensive position instead.

But when the football rolled towards Henry, Qin Xiong was also a little unexpected.

Henry chose a leaky ball!

He didn't look behind him, he directly moved forward and passed Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong knew that turning around and chasing Henry would lose the chance to guard Henry.

So he paid attention to the rolling trajectory of the football, and then quickly observed Henry's running trajectory. He got stuck and blocked the line where his teammates gave Henry a through ball!

Bergkamp controlled the ball three meters in front of Garasek. He really wanted to give Henry a through kick. If it can be done, this attack can be called quicksilver.

But he found that Qin Xiong blocked his passing line, so he had no choice but to change his mind and shoot directly!

The Ice Prince's long shot hit the bull's-eye, and Lobant fell to the ground and threw his hand. Fortunately, Henry was not nearby, and Ljungberg's follow-up seemed to be a step too slow. in arms.

Arsenal began to show their bloody fangs, and Ajax was not to be outdone.

Qin Xiong knew very well that he could not charge hard in the middle, and Vieira and Silva's defense was extremely tough and efficient.

In the 32nd minute fast break, Pienaer pinned down the opponent's double midfielders in the middle, Qin Xiong took the initiative to move to the left, and teamed up with Maxwell and Sneijder to form a triangle offensive system. Qin Xiong pressed forward to the left side of the penalty area, and Vieira came to help defend. He did not press madly, but prevented Qin Xiong from dribbling inside. Unexpectedly, Ajax, who was preparing to attack on the left side, was led by Qin Xiong made a decisive long pass and shifted the attack to the right.

Van der Vaart stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and sent Ibrahimovic an oblique pass without hesitation when Arsenal's defensive center of gravity shifted.

In order to ensure that Ibrahimovic can get the ball, the position where the ball is passed to compress the angle of Ibrahimovic's shot. Ibrahimovic followed the rolling trajectory of the football, resisted Toure, and volleyed directly with a half-turn!

Unfortunately, the angle was still too small, and his volley hit the side netting.

Wenger was calm on the sidelines, but Koeman frowned.

There is a delicate balance on the scene.

This kind of balance is that both teams are playing fast break, and both are mainly attacking from the side.

Both Ajax and Arsenal were able to create chances on goal.

But it's not a great opportunity to attack.

It's just that under this balance, Ajax is hiding a crisis.

That is, when Qin Xiong assists and must be supported by the full-backs, Ajax can play an efficient attack on the wing. Otherwise, there will be insufficient troops to tear through Arsenal's defense.

However, most of Arsenal instigated counterattacks through the midfield and backcourt. They did not need to invest more troops to create a threatening attack.

What Koeman is worried about is that if Ajax's fast break is directly intercepted by Arsenal in the midfield, and then turned around to instigate a counterattack, Ajax's backcourt defense will appear empty.

What to be afraid of, what to come.

In the 41st minute of the game, Qin Xiong came to the side of the front court and sent a straight pass to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic did not kick the ball at the first time. He wanted to make adjustments and try to get a better shooting angle in front of Campbell. , but neglected Silva's defense behind him, the ball under his feet was destroyed by Silva, and directly stabbed to Lehmann.

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann crossed the ball diagonally to Lauren, who crossed Vieira diagonally. At this time, Vieira crossed another diagonally, and Ashley Cole sprinted forward.

Arsenal's whirlwind attack on the wing is staged again!

Qin Xiong risked his life and ran to the backcourt, but Arsenal passed the ball very quickly. This time, his starting position was not good. He was already too deep into the enemy's zone, and the return distance was too far.

Ashley Cole crossed the midfield and cut inside. Pienaar retreated and was defeated by Ashley Cole and Bergkamp's one-two pass. Ashley Cole passed directly to the penalty area. , Pires, who was in the middle of the central defender and the full-back, did not stop the ball and returned the ball to the center.

Henry got the ball in front of the penalty area. He already had a shooting angle in front of him. Garasek came to help defend. Henry pulled the ball back and took a counter-cut line, throwing Garasek away.

On the right side of the center in front of the penalty area, Henry's vision is slightly empty. Except for the central defender Escuder, there are only the goal and the goalkeeper Lobant.

Henry kicked up!

With a rubbing shot, the football with a strong rotation drew an arc of inward rotation in the sky. Lobant flew to the extreme, but his fingertips failed to touch the football, and the ball fell into the top right of the goal. Corner, dead corner!

"Thierry Henry! Henry scored a wonderful goal, he received a pass from Pires from outside the box, calmly past Garasek, flicked the ball forward to the right, and then in no time. In the state of human interference, he shot a curve ball, and the football went straight to the dead corner of the goal, which was extremely pleasing to the eye! Arsenal led Ajax 1-0 in the away game!"

King of guns Henry swings his arms and nods while running backwards on the sidelines. His eyes are looking at every teammate. Although he is not the captain of the team, he is the core of the offense and he is the team's reliance. key figures.

Teammates rushed forward and surrounded Henry in front of the visiting team stands, and they celebrated the goal together.

Henry's goal was like a heavy punch in the heart of the Ajax people, making them depressed and unable to breathe.

Wenger waved his fist and then applauded his disciples.

Qin Xiong walked towards the backcourt with a full face.

Arsenal's counter-defense power cannot be underestimated.

Not only does it prevent Ajax from attacking the center, but even if they play on the wing, they seem to be unable to attack on the left. Lauren's defense is very stable, and he does not advance as frequently as Ashley Cole. Insert assists.

The most troublesome thing for Qin Xiong is to guard against Arsenal's fast break. If one of his side's full-backs and midfielders is not in the defense zone, there is too much space in the backcourt, and the opponent will advance the attack to the hinterland of Ajax with lightning speed. The probability of being able to create a deadly threat is greatly increased.
