In the second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals, the match between Ajax and Arsenal was very stalemate.

Neither team was able to create a killing intent in the opponent's penalty area, but Ajax was obviously more threatening from a long-range shot from the outside.

Wenger clenched his fists, hoping that time would go faster!

The faster time goes by, as long as the score does not change, Ajax will definitely panic, attack, and mess up their own positions, which will give Arsenal more space to attack!

But time will not speed up, and it is not a way to let Ajax shoot long shots so recklessly.

What if?

What if Ajax is really lucky to score a world-wide goal, what will Arsenal do?

Vieira gestured to his teammates, calling on the defensive players to increase their enthusiasm for fighting outside the penalty area, and, more fiercely!

If you can't expose the space in the penalty area for Ajax to hit the ball behind, you can only limit Ajax in this way.

They are very secretive about Qin Xiong's through ball skills, and they must not easily press the back line.

Before the end of the first half, Henry dribbled the ball from the bottom line and cut inside the penalty area. He completed a beautiful two-to-one with Ljungberg. Unfortunately, his shooting angle was too narrow, and finally he volleyed from close range. sidelines.

Entering stoppage time, Ajax won a free kick on the left side of the front field, and Lauren brought Sneijder to the ground before Sneijder could receive the ball.

Ajax made targeted changes to the arrangement of free kicks.

On the left side facing the goal, give it to Sneijder, on the right side, Van der Vaart, in the middle, hand it over to Qin Xiong.

Sneijder fired an anti-aircraft gun with this free kick.

After this free kick attack, the first half is over.

"0:0 in the first half, Arsenal 1:1 Ajax, the two teams played conservatively in the first half and failed to create very good scoring opportunities, but Ajax's shooting data As well as leading Arsenal in terms of goal hits, it seems that Arsenal intends to use their defense to win the Champions League quarter-finals."

The players of the two teams returned to the locker room. Koeman encouraged the players to play better in the second half. There was no change in tactics. He always believed in Ajax now. This style of play is the most comprehensive Offensive and defensive balance.

Besides, Ajax did have a chance to score, with two or three long-range shots. If it weren't for Lehmann's outstanding performance, if he were an ordinary goalkeeper, he would definitely be powerless.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Neither Ajax nor Arsenal have changed their offensive and defensive postures, and the stalemate is maintained on the scene.

Qin Xiong is still actively creating opportunities for the team, but with the improvement of Arsenal's interception in the midfield and the aggressiveness of their actions, Ajax is getting more and more free kicks.

In the 51st minute, Ibrahimovic held the ball with his back and was pulled by Silva and almost fell to the ground. The referee gave Arsenal a foul.

Of course, England fans who are accustomed to the loose penalties of the Premier League naturally habitually "turn a blind eye" to this seemingly obvious foul action, but it is not out of the ordinary.

Qin Xiong stood in front of the free kick. After the opponent set up the wall, he took a deep breath, ran up, exerted all his strength, and shot!

The football blasted by him bounced off Lauren's body. Although Lauren was protecting her chest with her arms, she still fell to the ground as if she had been hit hard. Qin Xiong's shot was too powerful.

Sneijder was raising his hand to signal for Lauren's handball, but Qin Xiong didn't think it was a handball, so he looked very calm and immediately went to defend.

Lauren was lying on the ground, Galasek kicked the ball out of the sideline in desperation, and then waited for about 30 seconds, Lauren stood up again, the referee confirmed that he was fine, and then kicked off again.

Arsenal returned the ball back to Ajax with great sportsmanship.

After another 3 minutes, Vieira tripped Van der Vaart while intercepting Van der Vaart, and the referee gave Ajax another free kick.

Van der Vaart took the penalty himself. He shot a free kick over the head of the wall. He wanted to hit a close corner, but the arc of the football rotation was too large, and it missed the goal post by less than half a meter and flew out of the baseline.

The Ajax fans in the visiting team's stands were emotionally nervous, excited, expecting, and still enthusiastically cheering for the team.

Wenger was a little apprehensive on the sidelines.

Why?Why?Why?

Why is Ajax still in chaos?

Still not on the offensive?

Time, almost half an hour left.

It's not that you will be able to create opportunities if you press the offense!

It takes many, many efforts before it is possible to create a goal.

Ajax, attack, attack, attack!

Give Arsenal a chance to kill the game, knock Ajax into the abyss, step on your corpses, and advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

Although Ajax is young, except for Qin Xiong, most of these players have experienced the baptism of the Champions League last season.

Even Sneijder, who has been righted this season, has no experience in the key battles of the Champions League, but he already has a place in the Dutch national team and has experience in playing games. It is also a high-level, high-pressure game.

And what about Qin Xiong?

He is also calm.

He has been relied on by his teammates since he was a child. He knows what role he should play in the team and what kind of mentality he should use to face the game.

I have been very stable since I was a child, why do you call me chaotic?

Even though the time is getting shorter and shorter, Ajax organized their offense in an orderly manner and used their planned strategies to hit Arsenal's goal step by step. This in itself represents the maturity of their temperament and the improvement of their psychological quality.

In the 64th minute, Ibrahimovic passed the ball back to Qin Xiong in the middle, and Qin Xiong took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball forward. He saw the hope of passing Vieira, but when the football passed Vieira, Vieira Because his attention was on Ibrahimovic before, the center of gravity of his body could not keep up at this time, so he stretched out his feet to block Qin Xiong's progress, and deliberately hit Qin Xiong's body with his arm.

This time, Qin Xiong fell to the ground and didn't get up immediately. He felt that his arms seemed to be falling apart, and he needed to slow down.

When he folded his arms on the ground and gritted his teeth to endure the pain, Ibrahimovic rushed over and pressed the football to the place Vieira fouled, and the referee had already whistled.

After setting up the football, Ibrahimovic patted Qin Xiong on the shoulder and asked seriously: "How is it? Is it okay?"

Qin Xiong gritted his teeth, with a stubborn and ferocious expression, and replied: "It's okay, it will be fine soon."

He stood up again and moved his shoulder, which felt like it was almost dislocated just now.

After several consecutive activities and felt that there was no problem, Qin Xiong stood in front of the football and raised his leg to make a quick move. Silva immediately stretched out his foot in front of him to block it. Qin Xiong didn't kick the ball out, and stretched out his hand to signal the referee: the opponent is far away. not enough!

The referee pointed to Silva to warn the opponent, and then let the Arsenal players retreat.

Lehman directed his teammates to place the wall, then moved to the direction near the far post and stood there, ready to save with a dignified expression.

Ajax's teammates quickly took their positions. Those in the penalty area were waiting for a follow-up shot in the chaos. Outside the penalty area, they were controlling the perimeter and preparing for a second attack. There was also Garasek next to Qin Xiong, as a possible short pass. To confuse the opponent's defensive attention.

Qin Xiong stared at Arsenal's goal with extremely cold eyes. At this moment, Highbury booed everywhere.

Arsenal fans probably couldn't understand Qin Xiong's behavior of falling down after being fouled by Vieira. The philosophy of British football is to bravely collide and confront.

It is also possible that Qin Xiong was disturbed by hissing.

The Ajax fans were very quiet in the away stands, watching Qin Xiong nervously and expectantly.

This talented new star that Ajax has loved to chase and even pursue!

He started the run-up, stood still on his feet, his body was slightly tilted, the top of his right foot was straightened, and there was incomparably strong strength when he swung his legs.

boom!

The football flew up rapidly, and after leaving the ground, it rose obliquely in a straight line, moving forward!

Arsenal took off from the wall, and the direction of the ball's flight was still Lauren's point.

But this time, Lauren seemed to be late in the jump. When the football flew over his head, he bounced slowly to the limit height.

Lehmann was startled when he saw the direction the football was flying.

He quickly moved to the right side of the goal. When the football passed over the wall, it suddenly changed its trajectory!

Lehman gritted his teeth and flew to the right.

The German goalkeeper, who has made at least two world-class saves in this game, closed his eyes in despair during the lunge.

He knew in his heart that when he kicked the ground and swooped, the time was too late!

The football fell into Arsenal's goal after falling rapidly!

The football entangled with the net in the goal and turbulently rotated made the situation at Highbury change!
