"Hi everyone in front of the TV, welcome to the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, where the UEFA Champions League final will be staged here! I, Zhan Jun, will comment on the live broadcast of the game for you!

The two teams that have reached the final this season are Ajax from the Netherlands and Porto from Portugal.

Ajax eliminated the Premier League powerhouses Arsenal and Chelsea on the way to the final, and blocked Monaco from the final. Porto also surprisingly eliminated Manchester United, Lyon, and Deportivo to advance to the final.

I am afraid that this is the result that no one would have thought of half a year ago. Now, the two dark horses are standing on the stage of the final, making their final efforts to compete for the highest honor in European football!

As we all know, Ajax's influence and popularity among Chinese fans has greatly increased. That's because there is a Chinese player in the Ajax team. He is Qin Xiong, who is the main force and midfielder of Ajax. The role helped the team win the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup this season. His contribution to the team's championship is unimaginable. In the first season in Europe, Qin Xiong showed his blockbuster strength , he has been widely praised by the European media, and now there are rumors that many European clubs want to recruit him.

In the east stand of the Aofu Schalke Stadium, about two thousand Chinese fans came to watch the game. They collectively wore Ajax jerseys, and the number on the back was 28, which was Qin Xiong’s jersey number. , some of them held the Chinese national flag, and some pulled out a banner with a close-up of Qin Xiong's heroic appearance in the game, and there were also blessings to cheer him up. Now Chinese fans proudly call Qin Xiong "Chinese hero!"

Qin Xiong has written a new history of Chinese players in European football. There are too many new records to count. Now he is standing on the stage of the Champions League final. This is definitely a historic moment!I believe there must be many Qin Xiong's supporters cheering for him in front of the TV!On this day, how many Chinese fans will unswervingly support Ajax?

The pre-match report found that in many cities in China where football culture prevails, the slogan shouted by fans when they organize a group to watch the game is: Tonight we are all Ajax fans!

Alright, let's focus our attention on the arena, eh?

The game is about to start, but Qin Xiong and Sneijder made puzzling moves. It seemed that they were encouraging each other. Hehe, according to the news from Ajax reported by the media, Qin Xiong was in Ajax. Jax's best friend in the club is Sneijder. It seems that the rumors are true. At this time, as the two youngest players on the field, they are cheering for each other.

Now I will introduce the starting lineups of the two sides for the final.

Ajax coach Ronald Koeman's starting XI is 433.

Goalkeeper: Robinte.

Defenders: Grigera, Heitinga, Escuder, Maxwell.

Midfielders: De Jong, Galasek, Qin Xiong.

Forwards: van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder.

Porto coach Jose Mourinho's starting XI is 442.

Goalkeeper: Baia.

Defenders: Ferreira, Costa, Carvalho, Valente.

Midfielders: Costinha, Mendes, Deco, Maniche.

Forwards: Delle, Alberto.

Players from both sides have already stood in formation, and Ajax will take the lead in kick-off! "

With the whistle of the referee, the European peak battle at the Schalke Stadium officially kicked off!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic kicked the ball to Van der Vaart, the latter passed back, Qin Xiong stopped the ball behind, and before the opponent's striker came up to press, he passed the ball back to Garasek, the Czech veteran crossed the ball to the wing Compatriot Griegera, Griegera passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong kicked the ball to Sneijder, who returned the ball to Maxwell...

Ajax did not get caught up in Porto's frenzied pressing after the opening game, but they took the initiative to get the football passing to work quickly.

The formation does not press forward, and the trident moves in the front half area. Everyone consciously passes the ball more, and tries to make every teammate on the court participate in the passing activities.

Ajax is to allow the team as a whole to quickly enter the game state, avoiding players who have not touched the ball for a long time and are distracted or unable to keep up with the overall rhythm of the team.

After all, it is the final, so it is better to be calm and conservative in the opening stage, especially for young teams.

Now under the midfield series organization with Qin Xiong as the core, Ajax is working hard to activate the team's combat effectiveness.

At the same time, Qin Xiong is also carefully observing the defensive strategies of Porto players in passing and running.

In fact, Porto's formation does not represent the tactical advancement of European football. They are a bit like England's traditional 442.

But if you look closely, there is a difference.

The opponent's two forwards, Delle and Alberto, never press Ajax's defenders, in order to ensure a close connection between their own area of ​​activity and the midfield.

If they go to the forefront to press Ajax's defenders regardless of their lives, it is obvious that they will be out of touch with the midfield line led by Deco!

When attacking, the offensive formation will be cut by Ajax's double midfielder defensive system, and it will not be able to support the midfield defense when defending.

Therefore, these two physically strong forwards will only press Ajax's midfielders and do active defense in the midfield area.

This is Mourinho's coaching ability. He can make forwards obediently defend actively, and do the dirty work that 99% of forwards are unwilling to do.

If there is no pressure behind him, Qin Xiong will decisively try to challenge the central defense formed by Deco and Mendes. The combination of the front midfielder, today he encountered opponents in all directions in the middle, which gave Deco and Mendes an inherent advantage in defense.

If Alberto and Dellei can interfere and intercept Qin Xiong, then Deco and Mendes will see the right time to form a joint defense to contain Qin Xiong.

If the two forwards cannot harass Qin Xiong, Deco and Mendes will retreat and keep a close distance from the back line, so that Qin Xiong cannot have the space to attack one by one!

Strict defensive system, overall coordinated defense tacit understanding.

Porto's rational defensive strategy is very much like their young coach Mourinho standing on the sidelines. His face is cold, declaring that Porto is as cold and unshakable as steel under his command.

However, this is relative to an independent defensive screen. The game is constantly running. It is impossible for Porto to perform their own duties in every defense and to be in the defensive area where they should stand. After all, they also have to attack!

After the relatively calm 15 minutes at the beginning of the game, Qin Xiong believed that Ajax had fully mobilized the game as a whole.

They start trying to attack.

In the 17th minute of the game, after roughly figuring out the opponent's strategy to contain the midfield, Qin Xiong slowed down the pace of dribbling just past the midfield. He seemed to be planning a breakthrough against Deco, and Deco also Intended to have a defensive cooperation with the teenager Alberto.

He didn't expect that Qin Xiong was just trying to seduce Deco. After attracting Deco's attention, Qin Xiong immediately passed the ball forward.

Ibrahimovic, who was 4 meters away from the penalty area, got the ball. After a fake cross pass, he pulled the ball horizontally away from Mendes. Before Mendes was about to pull his jersey with his hands, Ibrahimovic Bu completed a long shot in one go!

This shot had such a shocking effect that the goalkeeper Baia broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't move, didn't make a save, Ibrahimovic's shot was too sudden, and this guy's strength was amazing, the shot football traveled [-] yards in the blink of an eye, fortunately, it missed the goal by two meters and flew out of the baseline.

"Ajax completed a goal. The Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's long-range shot hit an amazing speed. Unfortunately, it missed the goal. It seems that Ajax is ready to test Porto's defense with long-range shots! Ajax There are many long-range shooters in the team, Sneijder, van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic, including Qin Xiong, Ajax offensive players in the frontcourt, they are described by the Dutch media as: they can score goals anywhere in the frontcourt !"

Mourinho maintained a calm look from beginning to end.

Even if Ajax started to attack, he also had the same posture of facing the mountain collapsed without changing his face.

In fact, he is looking forward to Ajax's attack in his heart.

Porto focuses on anti-counterattack, defend first, then counterattack, the premise of defense is of course the opponent's attack!

The more Ajax attacks, the more Mourinho looks forward to it!
