Qin Xiong walked towards the backcourt in awe.
Arsenal’s counterattack power cannot be underestimated.
Not only can Ajax not attack in the middle, but even if he plays on the wing, he can’t seem to attack on the left. Lauren’s defense is very stable, and he doesn’t insert assists as often as Ashley Cole.
Qin Xiong’s biggest headache is to guard against Arsenal’s fast break. If one of his own fullbacks and midfielders is not in the backcourt of the defense zone, if it is too big, the opponent will push the attack into the hinterland of Ajax in a flash, and the probability of creating a deadly threat will increase greatly. To be continued.
[Text 166 Last Step Ajax Limit Equilibrium]
Although it is one to concede the first goal at home, the knockout system of the Champions League determines that the away goal is as precious as gold, which will also cause a fatal blow to the home team.
Ajax didn’t come up with the momentum to equalize the score immediately after losing the ball.
In the top confrontation, Qin Xiong noticed the weakness of Ajax’s selfperfect attack and defense.
He can’t press forward to attack without fear.
To create opportunities in front of Arsenal’s defence, there is a necessary condition: fullback assists!
Only when the fullback assists cooperate with each other before and after the formation of the flank can the opponent’s defense line be contained, forcing the opponent’s lateral defense area to expand, and at the same time adding a flank receiving point to make a lateral transfer, so that the attack can play a good role.
In fullback, the condition of assisting must have front and back defense, and there will be five less people!
Three defenders and two midfielders form an interlocking double iron triangle.
Two defenders plus a back waist iron triangle is unshakable in European football, but a successful team must at least have a complete iron triangle.
And Ajax’s strength is not as fast as Arsenal’s defense of the other side’s hurricane crossing with a complete iron triangle. It is unrealistic!
It takes two 3guards and 2backs to overlap two iron triangles to at least ensure the blockade of the other side in the danger zone.
In order to avoid being penetrated by the defense line, Qin Xiong took the initiative to defend Galasek to form two iron triangle front barriers.
Because of this, Ajax failed to create a better offensive opportunity at the end of the halftime.
Ajax and Arsenal went to the players’ tunnel with a score of 1 behind.
The enthusiasm of the home team fans did not decrease. After losing the ball, they were in a daze for a while, but soon these fans tirelessly continued to cheer for the team.
Back in the locker room, Qin Xiong and all his teammates were silent. They didn’t quarrel or get angry with their teammates.
Actually, they work very hard.
But the reality has given them a setback.
In the Dutch league, people who were in a position to stop themselves were hit hard in the Champions League.
Arsenal is very strong, although it is not enough to crush Ajax, but it also greatly limits Ajax’s play through solid defense.
In particular, the opponent’s swift counterattack made Ajax’s midfield very uncomfortable. Qin Xiong did not dare to change the position of his teammates in the front line. Once he lost the ball in the process of changing positions, the offensive players in the middle and front court would defend against the opponent’s fast break.
After the lack of change, Ajax’s offensive power suddenly decreased.
They can beat psv Eindhoven in three games after creating a new technical and tactical body.
But psv Eindhoven and Arsenal are not the same level team.
This reality will make Ajax geniuses feel great pressure and frustration.
However, everyone didn’t lose control of their emotions, thinking in silence, and preparing calmly for the halfcourt game to some extent represented that they were growing up, from a group of children who could kick the downwind ball and win the game, celebrating with joy, but blaming each other for the headwind, becoming mature.
Coleman didn’t return to the dressing room for the first time.
He meditated alone in the corridor.
Qin Xiong found the problem at halftime when he actually played psv Eindhoven.
Nothing has changed, because change is always a doubleedged sword. If you succeed, don’t change.
But by this time, he must make a change.
Otherwise Ajax will play like this, especially at halftime, when the psychological pressure and scores are getting less and less, and various factors will affect the players’ play. At that time, the team may be firmly defended against Arsenal and collapse.
He had an idea about how to change, whether it was right or not. He didn’t know that it was also because he devoted all his efforts to this young guard. All his efforts were unsuccessful, which either meant that the limit of this young team was here or that his personal coaching ability was mediocre.
He walked back to the dressing room and first called pienaar up. They were whispering in the corner of the dressing room. I don’t know what they were talking about. pienaar looked solemn and finally nodded hard.
