Chapter 82 Cold shot, tie the score!
The game continued at Nyau Gargenwald Stadium. Ajax responded calmly and kept the score of [-]-[-] until the end of the first half.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room, and the court was temporarily quiet.

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room is calm, which is different from the previous two games when Ajax established a huge advantage in the first half.

For the first time, Chen Fan experienced the huge gap between home and away games in the Eredivisie. In the past, the Ajax youth team could turn the away game into the home game by relying on their momentum.

Tonight, Ajax had the momentum of two big victories. As a result, the two sides were evenly divided on the scene in the first half, and from the perspective of the number of shots, Ajax was even less than the opponent.

Basten said: "The opponent is very tenacious. We must be soberly aware of this. We must adjust our mentality and don't think about winning a big away game or winning three consecutive games. This is very dangerous thinking."

The players nodded slightly, but it was the fact that, especially after Chen Fan scored that lightning goal, almost every Ajax player on the field thought they would win a big victory tonight.

But things didn't develop like this. Utrecht quickly adjusted their mentality, reversed the situation on the field, and even pressed Ajax in the half of the game during the interruption, forming a siege.

"We must have a calm heart, fully realize the cruelty of the game, and even think about what kind of mentality we should use to face this situation if the opponent reverses the game with consecutive goals in the second half, and what should we do."

Basten took a deep breath and said: "I know that everyone wants to enter the championship group as quickly as possible and shorten the points gap with the leaders as quickly as possible, but meals need to be eaten bite by bite, and competitions need to be fought one by one."

"If you don't fight, how can you win?"

"Take the first half of the game as an example. If Chen hadn't run for more than 50 meters, the current score might not be [-]-[-], but [-]-[-]!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Chen Fan unconsciously, and Chen Fan blushed.

Basten is undoubtedly a legendary star in the Netherlands. He has won countless honors. To be praised by such a person, Chen Fan felt very honored and proud, but he was also very shy.

He has only been in this team for less than a month. The members of this team have played in the Eredivisie for many years and are household names in the Netherlands.

"So, we must be based on fighting, not just this game, but we must maintain this mentality when facing any opponent in the future. There have been countless battles in world football where the weak defeated the strong. We should not take it lightly when we face opponents who are weaker than us. We must fight bravely to win against opponents who are stronger than us!"

Basten's words made the players think deeply. They all understand these principles, but at some moments, they didn't think so. For example, tonight they thought it was an easy away trip, but they didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious.

In the following time, Basten made tactical arrangements and adjusted the problems in the first half. For example, after Chen Fan attacked, he clarified who should fill his defensive position and so on.

In the locker room of the home team, the atmosphere was a little depressing. Even if they had no chance of winning the championship and no worries about relegation, falling behind would definitely not make people happy.

As long as you stand on the court, no one wants to win the opponent.

Utrecht coach Eric said in a deep voice: "On the whole, our performance in the first half was good."

"The responsibility for conceding the goal at the beginning of the game mainly lies with our coaching team. We haven't studied Chen enough, and we didn't expect his breakthrough in changing direction to be so powerful."

"From the analysis of the situation in the first half, Chen's forward assist is one of the main means of Ajax's offense. We must make full use of this. When counterattacking, we mainly attack him and attack from the left!
The goal we almost scored in the first half was this style of play, we must continue to stick to it! "

If there is a flaw in the full-back assist, it is that he left a huge depth behind him after the attack, and the opponent can make a fuss about this.

Several attacking players in Utrecht exchanged glances with each other and nodded slightly. The coach said it was good.

……

The second half came as scheduled, Ajax fans took a deep breath, and the decisive battle was coming. If this game could not be won, they would almost lose their qualifications for the championship.

Utrecht burst into enthusiastic cheers. They hoped that their team would stop Ajax, so that they could not only experience the joy of victory, but also have a great sense of accomplishment to dominate the championship.

Before the start of the game, players from both sides encouraged each other to boost their morale.

"Tick!..."

The referee blows his whistle and the second half begins!
Utrecht launched an attack quickly, and Ajax, who had adjusted their mentality, responded calmly. They were looking for opportunities to counterattack.

There is an offense in the defense of any game, especially in football games. Quick counterattacks are already an important means for many teams to score.

There is nothing to be ashamed of being suppressed by the opponent in the away game. For Ajax now, victory is the first priority.

Ajax defended layer by layer, and Utrecht patiently looked for opportunities. In the second minute of the second half, they looked for a long-range shot from outside the penalty area. The midfielder Ellery Kairo made a strong shot, and the football flew towards the right side of the goal!

It was a cold shot, and Basten, who was sitting on the bench, looked serious, and his fists were slowly clenched unconsciously, which was a sign of tension.

Ajax goalkeeper Stigilandburg `Ste Kellenberger obviously didn't realize that the opponent would shoot suddenly, and his reaction was half a beat slow.

By the time he made a flying save, the football had already flown above the penalty area line!
In the blink of an eye, the soccer ball flew half a meter in front of Stikellenberg's fingertips!

The football flies over the goal line and into the net!

The ball is in!
The score became one to one!

The fans of both sides failed to react at the first time, and it took two full seconds before the home fans let out deafening cheers and applause.

And the Ajax fans looked at each other in blank dismay. The opponent evened the score just after the start of the second half?

The pressure is on them, making them stand like sculptures in the stands.

Ellery Cairo, who scored the goal, howled and galloped across the turf, with the Utrecht players galloping behind him...

The Ajax players were silent, and Stekilandburg `Ste Kellenberg stood up from the turf in annoyance, and slapped himself twice on the face.

Utrecht coach Eric shook his fist, and Basten walked to the command area and shouted at his players: "It doesn't matter, we still have time!"

Perhaps during the intermission, Basten had already vaccinated them. The Ajax players raised their heads, exhaled a long breath, and then nodded silently to each other. We still have time.

Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly, then opened them suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, his face was full of determination...

The faces of the journalists on the sidelines became brighter. Both sides scored goals at the beginning of the second half. This game is really worth seeing!
