113 The battle of life and death is coming
The game with Helenfin is almost a replica of the game with The Hague.
The only difference is that The Hague collapsed from defending to having to attack.
Helenfin collapsed from offense to having to defend.
When he fell behind two goals, Helenfin's team's thinking could no longer be unified.
It is obvious that they cannot defend against Ajax's attack, and their own attacks are also in a lack of threat.
As a result, the players have different ideas, the offense and defense system is chaotic, the defense is messy, and the offense is out of order.
Ajax doesn't care about that.
They are experimenting with new tactics, and the whole team needs to run in under the new system. The running changes of skilled teammates will make the offense and defense balanced.
And this new tactical system also derives more changes from the initial conceivable in the experiment!
For example, the changes in the overall formation.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Qin Xiong ran to the right to cooperate with Grigra, Van der Fate directly into the penalty area, Pinal retreated, and Sneider also retreated to ensure the balance of offense and defense. At this moment, Ajax's formation looked like 442.
From 433 to 442.
Ibrahimovic plays double striker with Van der Fate.
The effect was reflected in Van der Fate's push, which attracted the attention of Helenfen's defensive players, and he made contributions to Ibrahimovic sharing of pressure.
Qin Xiong made a cross from the side.
Yes, Ajax doesn't play the cross from the bottom of the wing, but it does not mean that he has absolutely abandoned such a method. When the time is right, which offensive means will use the most threatening one.
A rigid player can only survive in rigid tactics.
Players like Ajax have stronger adaptability and their ability to respond to changes and their decisiveness on the spot are often unexpected.
Qin Xiong's cross passed the ball around the front point of the penalty area, where there were crowds of people, Van der Fate attracted many defensive players, while Ibrahimovic, who was at the back point, easily jumped and headed the ball into the goal.
3:0
Ibrahimovic likes Qin Xiong more and more!
After scoring the goal, he waved to Qin Xiong immediately and asked Qin Xiong to celebrate the goal with him.
He can't dislike Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong scored four consecutive league games and also contributed assists in four consecutive league games.
At Philips Stadium, Qin Xiong gave Ibrahimovic an assist with the final score of PSV Eindhoven.
At the DSB Stadium, Qin Xiong scored a long pass and assisted Ibrahimovic in scoring.
Qin Xiong still directly assisted him once in the massacre of The Hague.
Today, Qin Xiong gave Ibrahimovic another assist!
In Ibrahimovic's heart, he and Qin Xiong were simply perfect combinations.
You assist, I scored!
Most of the teammates in Ajax's first team like Qin Xiong and think this Chinese guy is very good.
He is low-key and humble in life, diligent and serious in training, strong fighting spirit during competitions, and the most important thing is his strength.
Perhaps a person like Qin Xiong who is usually taciturn has a very dull first impression, but as he keeps getting along, his teammates' impression of him continues to deepen, and his favorability has also risen sharply.
This game further strengthened Koeman's belief in Ajax's tactical reform. From the observation of actual combat effectiveness, he and the players on the field understood that such tactical styles were very suitable for them, and at the same time, they had great potential. When they were proficient in running in and reaching the limit, the power of the explosion was unimaginable.
Only 10 minutes later in the second half, Koeman made a substitution on the sidelines.
They replaced two people at once.
Ibrahimovic and Qin Xiong walked out slowly.
This is the second time that Qin Xiong has been substituted in the game. The last time was in the rain battle in Groningen, where he performed poorly.
But today's substitution, Koeman obviously wants to give him and Ibrahimovic a better rest and prepare for the Champions League game a few days later.
Litmanin and Songk made their debut.
Van der Fate scored twice in this game. After returning to the front line, the Dutch Golden Boys shone with a more dazzling light than last season, and was full of power.
He was also substituted for the 70th minute of the game, and Sotals was the one who replaced him.
Ajax Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the score was already 4:0.
But Songk and Sotals, a Belgian fellow, are eager to perform, hoping to impress head coach Koeman with their outstanding form and reverse their position in the team.
However, although the head coach also values this kind of performance in "garbage time", the standards are obviously much lower.
Songke also scored a goal before the end of the game, locking the score at 5:0.
Helenfin ushered in a big rout at the Athletic Stadium in Amsterdam.
Ajax continues to lead the standings.
After the game, Koeman shook hands with Dehan and went to a post-match press conference.
Koeman was indifferent to Dutch domestic media reporters. Today he was ridiculed by reporters in the newspaper.
In addition, the Dutch domestic media have taken the lead after the previous Champions League defeat, and the fifth round of the Champions League match is approaching, and there is nothing to talk about for Helenfin's big victory. Most of the reporters asked Koeman about his prospects for the Champions League match after the game.
Koeman refused to answer all questions about the Champions League on the grounds of deviating from the topic.
To talk about this issue, it should be yesterday or earlier.
The schedule of this round of the Eredivisie has reduced Ajax's rest time to prepare for the Champions League. Considering that Ajax is still a visiting game, this makes Koeman even more dissatisfied.
In contrast, Psv Eindhoven finished this round of league ahead of schedule and is already preparing for the Champions League today.
Why?
Maybe it's because Ajax has been sentenced to death by the whole world!
No one thinks that Ajax, who lost four games and three times, can enter the knockout stage.
And Psv Eindhoven won two consecutive victories after losing two consecutive games, like a salted fish turning over. Can they break through the siege?
After this league victory, the atmosphere of Ajax's entire team became solemn again.
What is coming is the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, and they will challenge Celta as a guest, which is a game that cannot be missed.
But the players' mentality is still positive, but they seem much more serious than usual.
There is the solemn aura on the eve of the war.
Qin Xiong returned to Wardell Street, and the surrounding neighbors, those Ajax fans would take the initiative to talk to him about the upcoming Champions League, basically encouraging and supporting him, hoping that Ajax could perform well to defeat his opponent.
The Ajax Club attached great importance to this game and led the team half a day earlier than usual.
On the morning before the game, the Ajax first team players arrived in Vigo, Spain with the coaching staff and staff.
The city of Vigo, located in the Galicia Autonomous Region of Spain, has not brought much refreshing scenery to Ajax players. Compared with the prosperity of Amsterdam, Vigo is like a small countryside in the suburbs.
Adapting to the environment, training on the field, Ajax's preparations are carried out step by step.
Perhaps it was the issue of attention of the game. At the pre-UEFA press conference, there were fewer reporters present. Compared with the group highlight of AC Milan vs. Ajax, the influence of this game has decreased intuitively, and most of them were reporters from the Netherlands and Spain.
Koeman made a formulaic diplomatic rhetoric at the pre-match press conference and his speech was very low-key.
Do your best to win, whether you can qualify in the group, and wait until the group stage is over before watching.
On the night before the game, Qin Xiong still lived in a double room with Sneider.
Sneider was lying on the bed watching TV.
Qin Xiong was not very interested in TV, so he stood in front of the window and watched the scenery, which was also his habit.
Perhaps when I was a child, I always wanted to go to the outside world to see it, so whenever I went to a strange place, he would always watch the ordinary landscape in the eyes of others for a long time.
After seeing enough of the scenery, he looked up at the stars.
Celta looks like it's not a difficult opponent.
In the first leg, Ajax defeated Celta at home. In that game, Celta did not show any strong strength.
At the same time, Qin Xiong deliberately browsed Celta's performance in La Liga.
It's terrible!
The team that won the fourth place in La Liga last season has given a surprise answer in the first 12 rounds of the new season.
2 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses.
Only 11 points.
A team that is playing in the Champions League, but now in La Liga, has fallen into the ranks of relegation.
Sneid turned off the TV, lay down and pulled the quilt on, and said to Qin Xiong: "I'm asleep. Remember to turn off the window and lights before going to bed."
It was a little cold at night, so Qin Xiong agreed and closed the window, and then prepared to go to bed.
Before going to bed, he might have the same idea as all his teammates.
Chapter completed!
