Four more.

Chelsea keeps adding troops to the offensive end. The midfielder and bilateral defenders, the more they can't open up the situation in front and create good scoring opportunities, the players in Chelsea's backcourt will also be anxious.

Makelele also had to step forward to relieve Lampard's pressure. He faced Ajax with at least two midfielders double-teaming, sometimes three, and the organization and support work was very difficult.

Although Glenn Johnson also has impact on the wing, he has the same problem as Glenshire. He has a lot of thunder and rain, and his efficiency is low. He cannot convert effective wing attacks into direct scoring opportunities.

Bridge is not Ashley Cole, or in today's football, it is very rare for a full-back like Ashley Cole to take over a wing and occasionally change forward.

Chelsea's wing attack played impressively, but in the end, it still had to cross.

If they were given the impeccable combination of the Red Devils winger, Ryan Giggs and Beckham's cross quality, maybe Chelsea would have already knocked on Ajax's gate.

But unfortunately, they were able to cross unscrupulously from the wing, but they couldn't pass the chance to let Crespo and Hasselbaink complete the shot comfortably.

Seeing that Chelsea's formation is getting more and more pressing, Ajax's counterattack has become simple and rude.

In the 77th minute of the game, Qin Xiong took the initiative to run in the backcourt and pulled the side. After receiving the through pass from Heitinga to clear the siege, he also sent a through pass from the side.

Van der Vaart moved forward in a straight line along the very wide space on the wing, and soon brought the ball to the front of the penalty area. This wave of counterattack Ajax played a high-quality speed impact.

Van der Vaart crossed the ball in front of the penalty area to Ibrahimovic who ran out to meet the ball, who kept his back to protect the ball when Terry pressed close, and then heeled the ball to the left side of the penalty area. ribs.

Sneijder volleyed the ball after successfully countering offside from the side, and the football flew into the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal unstoppably.

"It's over! Ajax killed Chelsea! Van der Vaart, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sneijder played brilliantly together, and Qin Xiong, who planned it all, calmly took advantage of Chelsea's eagerness to score goals There is really no way around this situation. Chelsea can’t open up the offensive end, so they have to invest more offensive players in the frontcourt at the expense of defense. As a result, the defense is empty and was caught by Ajax. Chance to counterattack, this goal is nothing to say! The total score became 5:1, Chelsea have no chance, even if they can score 15 goals in about 4 minutes left to equalize the total score, it is still not enough , if they want to advance, they must score at least 5 goals!"

In the stands of Stamford Bridge, some Blues fans chose to leave early and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

The Ajax players held their arms high, as if the game was over and they had qualified for the promotion.

They are proud and proud.

But maybe the arrogance in the bones is too much, and it has become blind arrogance and self-confidence.

They probably regard Chelsea as a mid-range team in the Eredivisie. Once they are beaten to the current score by themselves, the opponent should give up and surrender!

They are wrong.

The defensive line that has obviously begun to relax gives Chelsea more and better shooting opportunities.

In the 85th minute of the game, Chelsea took advantage of a corner kick and scored a goal with a header from captain Terry.

After Terry scored the goal, he ran towards the midfield holding the football expressionlessly. He knew that the goal he scored might not help, but he did not give up. The heart of an army soldier cannot die!

Qin Xiong talked with Heitinga, Escuder, and De Jong in low voices after the corner kick was lost, reminding everyone not to relax. minute!

In a few minutes, we can celebrate as much as we want!

Koeman also found that something was wrong on the field. Fortunately, there was not much time left in the game. Chelsea's goal came too late. If it was 10 minutes earlier, it might make Koeman even more nervous.

Koeman began to waste time by making substitutions.

O'Brien, Pasanin, and Van Damme appeared one after another, all defensive players removed the offensive players, and Qin Xiong also left the field.

Ibrahimovic returned to the penalty area at the last moment and used his height to prevent the opponent's high-altitude bombing. When entering the stoppage time, all Ajax substitutes and Qin Xiong, Sneijder and van der Vaart who were replaced stood on the sidelines. Everyone waited for the referee to announce the end of the game.

Finally, the whistle sounded!

All the Ajax players on the sidelines rushed into the stadium, waving their arms and shouting passionately, celebrating their reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League!

"The quarter-finals of the Champions League ended at Stamford Bridge. Ajax beat Chelsea 1:4 in the away game. The total score was 2:1 and they advanced to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League! This game is not as good as the last two games. The confrontation between the two teams was so exciting, and the tit-for-tat on the scene was more flavorful. The key point of the fight between Koeman and Ranieri was restriction and anti-restriction. Ajax made Chelsea suffer through the correct tactical strategy and the overall stable performance of the players. The problem facing Chelsea is also clear at a glance. They are very strong on paper, but the team is not creative enough. The more narrow the space, the less impressive their performance. Maybe they are good at playing that kind of open and close scenes in the Premier League. In the game, they still can't adapt to the opponent's richer and more varied tactics. Ajax has made a new breakthrough than last season. Last season, they were defeated by AC Milan at the last moment and unfortunately fell in the semifinals. At the gate, they have convincingly secured a ticket to the semi-finals in the knockout rounds this season. Can they go further? When we see the team performance of this group of talented talents on the court, we should Hope for them, okay, see you in the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

The Ajax players hooked their shoulders and bounced around the stadium. They sang songs and happily celebrated the team's reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League!

On the VIP seat, Abramovich stood in place and stared at the scene in the stadium for a long time. He finally shook his head, turned and left with his assistant. When walking in the aisle of the stadium, Abramovich turned his head and said a word to the assistant.

"I want him! Ajax's number 28."

......

Ranieri graciously praised Ajax's performance after the game, and also hinted to the media that his coaching position may not be kept, even though there are still many players in the Chelsea team who have feelings for this kind-hearted coach. Support and goodwill, after all, Ranieri accompanied Chelsea through thick and thin when they were in the most difficult time, and even created the achievement of qualifying for the Champions League with "zero investment in the season" as he said.

Koeman also praised Chelsea's performance, but it was a bit like the humility of the winner.

Fleet Street is helpless. This season, three Premier League teams have entered the Champions League. Newcastle United, which was eliminated in the qualifiers, has long been forgotten. So far, the Premier League team has been wiped out in the Champions League!

When the Ajax team got on the plane and returned to Amsterdam, in Amsterdam, a large number of local fans had already rushed to the airport in the early morning to wait for the heroes to return.

And on the plane, the Ajax players immediately looked ahead to the Champions League semi-final.

What shocked them and even the entire European football world is: this season's Champions League semi-finals, there is no major league giants!

This season's Champions League has come to the semi-final stage, and there has been an unprecedented dark horse galloping situation!

Ajax, even defeated the London duo and reached the semi-finals!

Porto, after killing Manchester United, Lyon advanced to the semi-finals!

Monaco, Morientes revenge Real Madrid, Monaco reached the semi-finals under the leadership of Marshal Didier Deschamps!

Deportivo, the incredible Deportivo, after a super reversal of the defending champion AC Milan, reached the semi-finals!

In the top 16, the top five giants who are most popular to win the championship are completely wiped out!

This is the charm of the Cup, a paradise for adventurers, and the process may be ups and downs and jaw-dropping.

The Ajax players looked at each other after getting the results of other games, with ambition and excitement shining in their eyes.

They knew that if they faced AC Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United one by one, maybe they could win one or two, but if they wanted to win all of them, it would be impossible!

However, other teams that reached the semi-finals reversed course to help.

Indeed, the top four teams do not mean that the overall strength must be stronger than the eliminated team. Maybe if Real Madrid and AC Milan are swapped, Ajax and Deportivo will both be eliminated, but this is The charm of the cup.

In the semi-finals where there is no absolute gap in overall strength, it can be said that the possibility of the four teams winning the championship is roughly the same, and this is enough to inspire Ajax!
