Porto’s counterattack does not have too many new routines. It mainly attacks from the side, and inserts follow-up after the center. This is centered on Deco. He is responsible for the counter-attack. Plug in after the middle.

Deco's ability to control the ball is very strong, but Qin Xiong found that his speed is not his strong point in the game. Even though Qin Xiong is not a good defensive player, as long as he is not directly broken by Deco, or even if he is broken, he will not be passed. Clean, he can still entangle Deco, so that Porto can only play a fast break from the side, but can't combine the side and the middle, and conduct a large-scale lateral dispatch.

Just as Porto are expecting Ajax to attack, give them space to counterattack.

Ajax is also looking forward to a counterattack from Porto.

This is determined by the style of football.

If the opponent sticks to it, it will be extremely difficult for Ajax to score goals.

But as long as the opponent is still counterattacking, they will invest at least 4 players. In other words, when the offense and defense transition, Ajax can have a better offensive environment as long as they play faster and have a faster rhythm.

In the 21st minute of the game, Deco sent the ball from the backcourt to Costinha on the wing. He failed to instigate a fast break on the right. Escuder and Garasek killed the teenager Alberto who wanted to go forward into the penalty area. To get the chance to hit the goal with a through ball.

After Ajax defended successfully, they immediately turned around and played fast break.

Qin Xiong started to run actively. At this time, it is impossible for Porto players to harass behind him. Alberto and Dellei are both on the front line. They are desperately chasing back, but if they can run faster than football, What the hell!

When Garasek passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Deco, who has a strong ability to read the game, followed him like a shadow. Qin Xiong had already figured out how to deal with Deco's pressing. He wanted to take the ball back one step first. Then flick the ball laterally to find an opportunity to send the ball forward.

But as soon as he touched the ball, there was a huge impact behind him, and Qin Xiong's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Deke to come up close to him!

Well, plans change!

He swayed to the left and turned around, Deco immediately moved to the left, but Qin Xiong feinted, and he immediately turned to the right to break through with the ball!

Deke, who had lost his center of gravity, was very close to Qin Xiong's body, and he secretly grabbed Qin Xiong's arm with his hand!

After exerting force to slow down the center of gravity and delay Qin Xiong's speed, he directly raised his leg to block Qin Xiong's advancing route, which made Qin Xiong stagger and poke the ball far away.

Qin Xiong stabilized his center of gravity, and was about to shake off Deke's hand, but found that Deke's hand had been retracted.

Qin Xiong looked towards Deco. The "traitor" in the eyes of Brazilian fans looked calm and wanted to start chasing the ball.

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded!

The referee's raised arm pointed at Porto's goal, meaning that Ajax had won a free kick and awarded Deco a defensive foul.

Deco showed his innocence to the referee.

Qin Xiong put his hips on his hips and felt helpless. He turned his head without any surprise and saw that Delray and Alberto were two meters away from him.

Porto tactical foul!

Yes, if the game has been running non-stop, then Ajax will have no problem even giving Porto a chance to defend against counterattack!

This is the price that must be paid!

The confrontation between offensive football and utilitarian football is so tit-for-tat.

Porto wants to fight back, how many players will be invested in the front line?

A player who wants to break down Ajax's defense is a daydream!

Two players are hopeless.

The probability of three players is greatly increased!

Four players will make Porto confident that the counterattack can defeat Ajax!

But Ajax doesn't think so. When the opponent turns from defense to offense after each counterattack, Ajax is good at launching a fast break with the ball in 3 seconds, which will make them turn around and attack Porto's defense. The success rate is also doubled!

But there is a major premise: the game is not interrupted.

Obviously, Mourinho's team was complained and criticized by the coaches of Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo on the way to the Champions League. It's exciting to use the rules when one's own side is in a favorable situation, and even take risks to challenge the rules to destroy the smooth and aesthetic feeling of the football game!

Now, it's Ajax's turn to experience the impact of this football philosophy that is very different from their own style.

No wonder Koeman would give the players psychological vaccinations before the game. When a very good fast break opportunity appeared before him, but was stopped by the opponent with a premeditated tactical foul, Qin Xiong's mood was also very complicated in an instant.

Regret, loss, helplessness, even anger!

If you have the ability, you-mother, come to guard against me in an open and aboveboard manner!

Don't come sneaking into fouls!

But this is where the diversity of European football lies. Qin Xiong spends most of his time in the Eredivisie. The Netherlands advocates offensive football. They are used to playing beautiful and smooth offensive football, so few teams will do this kind of thing like this Obviously, some fouls are really unavoidable choices in a hurry, but the Porto players are premeditated and commit fouls calmly!

Porto used this method to avoid exposing the line to the threat of Ajax's fast break to the greatest extent even if their counterattack was unsuccessful.

In the 24th minute of the game, Sneijder, who retreated to respond, also had a good opportunity to organize an attack, but was knocked to the ground by Costinia. The referee again fouled Porto and issued a warning to Costinia.

What annoyed the Ajax players was that the Porto players had a very good attitude of admitting their mistakes after fouling, and the referee was cautious and did not punish him with unscrupulous cards.

Qin Xiong responded by kicking the ball frequently, running more actively to respond, and trying not to give the opponent a chance to foul.

But if you want to attack in this way, the efficiency of the fast break will be a little worse, because you can’t efficiently cooperate with your teammates in the fast running under such a demanding situation with one kick, and often the fast break opportunities will change again. It became a positional battle.

Porto's overall return to defense was fast, coupled with the close connection between the midfield line and the back line, Ajax frequently tried long-range shots from the outside, and also got several free kicks.

Qin Xiong tried two free kicks, both of which were directly blocked by the wall. The third time was a little far away. His vigorous bombing failed to achieve the effect of an elevator ball, and the football flew directly into the stands.

Ajax's offense doesn't seem to have a particularly good effect, because Porto compressed the defensive space in the danger zone, and at the same time premeditatedly entangled with Ajax's offensive players, interfering with their offense with small moves, often evolving It ended in a partial battle and was finally besieged by Porto players.

Seeing that the attacking group in the frontcourt could not start the situation, Qin Xiong and the others did not panic. The final must be a tough battle, and they had such awareness before the game.

Grigera and Maxwell began to move around on the wing. The tacit understanding of the cooperation between the two was to always keep one person defending in the backcourt, and two people could not attack forward at the same time, so they have been very cautious since the opening.

When the game was approaching 30 minutes, Grigera saw the right time to move forward along the wing to participate in the attack. He and Qin Xiong played a fast and dazzling two-for-one cooperation. Maniche had no choice but to foul.

After coming to the frontcourt, Grigera and van der Vaart crossed positions. This movement confuses Valente. Qin Xiong decisively sent a through ball in the middle of the frontcourt, and the scalpel-like through ball penetrated. Porto's defense accurately found Griguera who cut into the bottom line.

The Czech full-back formed the most unexpected point of attack from the start to so far to break down Porto's solid defense.

He calmly watched the movement of Porto's defense.

Ibrahimovic was blocked, van der Vaart covered him and was blocked outside the penalty area, and Qin Xiong had Deco and Mendes blocking the pass line in front of him.

Grigera himself does not have a shooting angle, and now it is almost zero. If he dribbles outside to get a shooting angle, it is not what he is good at, and he may lose the ball directly.

He saw Sneijder who was most likely to end this attack!

Sneijder sneaked from the left to the left in front of the penalty area, and he got rid of Ferreira!

Grigera no longer hesitated, and decisively sent a diagonal back pass!

The goalkeeper Baia was attracted to the near post on this side. As long as Sneijder can shoot the ball from outside the penalty area on the other side, the goal will undoubtedly be scored!

After Grigera passed the ball, his expectations were shattered under the long legs of Costa who fell to the ground to intercept!

Costa fell to the ground and stretched his legs to block the ball at the critical moment, and the football fell to Deco's feet.

Qin Xiong immediately rushed forward to fight back, he could not give Deco the time to adjust the attack.

But the Brazilian reacted very quickly, half turned around on the spot and kicked the ball to the left side of his attack!

Seeing this attack, Mourinho's cold eyes on the sidelines shone with excitement.
