Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 244 The situation changes suddenly
An easy win in the first leg gave Ajax a huge advantage in the knockout round.

Judging from the performance of Manchester United players on the field, the young people of Jia's house are even better, and it is not easy to make a comeback.

In the league, Ajax continued to triumph.

Entering the middle of the season, Wang Po gradually took the second place in the league, replaced by his partner De Jong in the core position.

Unless the team is at a critical juncture, most of the time, Wang Po chooses to play.

Under the tempering of such a game, De Jong, Van der Beek, and De Ligt have grown rapidly and improved, and they have been able to win the game without relying on Wang Po.

This made Wang Po feel gratified.

However, after these few games, Wang Po's performance and statistics are no longer as impressive as before the start of the game, with a dominant level.

Therefore, some media began to float.

It is believed that Wang Po has regressed in a low-level league like the Eredivisie, and was even squeezed out of the core position by his teammates.

A media with such a rhythm.

Soon other media followed suit and caught up with the last train of this wave of enthusiasm.

For a while, it seemed that Wang Po's decline had become their consensus.

Facing such external public opinion, Wang Po only thought it was funny and didn't intend to pay attention to it. In fact, he didn't care about this matter at all.

This also made the wind blow intensified.

……

In the second leg, Ajax will host Manchester United at the Cruyff Stadium.

This game is already standing on the edge of a cliff for the Premier League giants. They have no way out, and they must go all out if they want to advance to the next knockout round.

In the second leg of the contest, Ajax's starting lineup was no different from the previous game.

For Manchester United, the position of the midfielder was adjusted. The defensive effect of the midfield combination of Fred and McTomina was not ideal in the last round. In this game, Solskjaer put Matic in the starting lineup.

McTomina and Matic guard the midfield to strengthen the hardness and strength of the defense.

As for the team's core Frenchman Pogba, he appeared in the central midfield position, with Rashford, Greenwood, and Martial on the front line.

With a three-forward formation, Manchester United is fighting.

With no way out, the Red Devils chose to fight defensively and put all their staffing on the front line.

"beep"

The referee blows his whistle and the game begins.

As soon as it came up, Manchester United was very proactive and pressed forward.

In this game, Pogba took over the power of organizing the team's offense, and continued to attack the gaps in the ribs of the Ajax defense.

For a while, there was panic in front of the goal of the Ajax team.

In just 10 minutes, Manchester United scored 5 shots, 2 of which were on target. This offensive showed the team's determination to advance.

In the 16th minute of the first half, Manchester United's mad attack finally achieved results.

Still Aoki-Greenwood, Pogba transferred the ball from the right side of the reverse rib, and after getting the ball, Greenwood took the ball one step at a time and completed the shot.

The ball draws a wonderful arc in the air, this ball is too sudden.

Goalkeeper Onana couldn't react in time and the ball went into the net.

1:0.

The total score was 2 to 3, and Manchester United recovered a goal in the total score.

The situation immediately changed, and this goal also gave Manchester United hope of advancing.

The atmosphere at the Cruyff Stadium also cooled down because of this goal. After losing the goal, the Ajax team launched a counterattack, and the players on the field were not unified in tactical thinking.

De Jong, who was eager to get back a goal, hit Casciela with a long pass. The latter broke through from the side and passed the ball to the center. Facing Maguire's marking, Dolberg fell behind in terms of physical fitness and was first cleared by the England central defender.

McToney got the ball and passed it to Pogba in the frontcourt. Before receiving the ball, the latter found Martial, who was eager to try on the wing, and passed the ball directly to the factory manager on the wing.

2 to 0, the total score was 3 to 3.

In just 7 minutes, the huge advantage has been eroded away. Right now, the Ajax team has only one advantage left, and that is an extra away goal.

However, judging from the situation of the scene, such an advantage is minimal.

The visiting team Manchester United became more courageous and magnificent.

The home team Ajax was stunned by two goals conceded in the opening game.

It can be clearly felt that the young people of the Ajax team are a little panicked.

The ability to play against the wind still needs to be strengthened, especially in a high-level intercontinental league like the Champions League, where a decisive mistake may directly ruin the game.

Obviously, without De Jong's hasty pass before, there would be no subsequent conceding of the ball.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, the situation is doomed and cannot be changed.

Next, it depends on how the players adjust themselves on the field.

However, judging from the current situation, the players of the Ajax team have obviously not stabilized their emotions.

"Keep going."

Ajax has the advantage of an away goal. If the score goes down, they will still advance.

For Manchester United, they still need a goal.

Taking advantage of the victory and pursuing, the Manchester United coach on the sidelines kept yelling at the players to continue attacking.

"Slow down the rhythm, hold on, don't follow the opponent's rhythm."

Wang Po gestured to his teammates.

In this case, don't think about calling back one quickly, or the situation will only get worse. The most urgent thing is to adjust your mentality in place.

But the players on the field, especially the core De Jong and Van der Beek, have begun to show panic when they take the ball.

The old fritters at Manchester United can naturally see this.

Grab, grab!

Frequent loss of the ball has made these young people in the Ajax team unconfident.

Looking at this situation, the Ajax fans at home are also worried. If this situation continues, I am afraid that they will lose the ball for a long time, and if they lose another goal, it will be a disaster.

Seeing that his teammates couldn't adjust themselves, Wang Po began to ask to control the rhythm.

Undoubtedly, the real soul core of this Ajax team is their No. 29 player.

Facing the desperate rush of Manchester United, he successfully controlled the ball in his own team by using his own foot skills.

Matic, McTomina and even Pogba, who is usually unwilling to do dirty work, joined the defensive army.

It's just that they underestimated Wang Po's skills at his feet. The ball seemed to stick to his feet. No matter how the Manchester United players fought, they just couldn't concede the ball.

With such a god-man in the team, the players of the Ajax team gradually stabilized their minds and slowly found their rhythm.
