When Ajax and Arsenal passed the initial stage of solid defense, both sides began to burst out with the offensive routines they were good at.

Although Ajax is at home and has a good geographical advantage, Arsenal focuses on preventing counter-attacks. When playing fast breaks, once Ajax increases troops to the front court, their offensive threat will be the first to explode!

In the 27th minute, Ashley Cole pressed the side again, this time he and Piret switched positions on the left side.

After two and one cooperation at a time, Ashley Cole cut into the inside, and this cooperation surprised Qin Xiong very much.

In European football, full-backs have been a point where the head coach has been flexible and changeable in the formation of the team.

The one who sticks to the rules and is the literal wing guard, which focuses on defense.

But in most giants, full-backs must have good assisting abilities, that is, when the full-back participates in the offense, they will become full-backs or wingers at some point, such as Carlaze of AC Milan, Maxville of Ajax, double-stops of Brazilian national team, etc.

In the use of more outstanding full-backs, full-backs can run long distances into the inside of the penalty area and become forwards, commonly known as "changing forwards". Because full-backs can be flexible and changeable, it is difficult to maintain stability in constant changes, so in today's European football, top full-backs are priceless and have money, and they may not be able to buy them. They can be used as full-backs, front-backs, wingers, and full-back players who change forwards are very scarce.

Ashley Cole's brilliant performance this season is inseparable from Wenger's training, and it is precisely because of players like Pire, who have the ability to play in the wing, which provides more support. This allows Ashley Cole to get selfless support from his teammates when cutting into the penalty area. If he were a classic winger, he would probably get the ball on the side of the frontcourt and rarely pass the ball to a fullback.

Arsenal's sharp left offense caused a headache for Ajax's defense.

The core is that Arsenal hides the offensive point.

Whether it is a defender or a midfielder, more attention is to focus on the opponent's forward, and the midfield's back insertion defense. In such a top game, Henry is already hard enough to defend, and if Borgkamp is forward, the pressure will be doubled. Pire and Lengbery's incisive running ability is extremely wary, and Vieira's back insertion should not be underestimated. In addition, Ashley Cole, who has a strong impact, how can Ajax not be surprised and panic?

Ashley Cole's inward cut in the penalty area made the attack depth, restraining Ajax's defense line from a large-scale retreat. Grigra was attracted by Pire. Ashley Cole faced Heatinga's defense in the penalty area. He did not force the ball and directly passed the ball back to the top of the triangular penalty area.

At this time, Qin Xiong and Galasek were together to guard against Henry.

The agile Henry occupied a favorable position, and Qin Xiong had no choice but to give up interception and instead occupy a front-facing defensive position.

But when the football rolled towards Henry, Qin Xiong was also somewhat unexpected.

Henry chose to miss the ball!

He didn't look behind him, but rushed forward and passed by Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong knew that turning around to chase Henry would lose the opportunity to defend against Henry.

So he paid attention to the trajectory of the football rolling, and then quickly observed Henry's running trajectory. He got stuck and stuck the line where his teammates passed the ball directly to Henry!

Borgkamp controls the ball three meters in front of Galasek. He did want to directly pass Henry. If he can make a move, this attack will be mercury.

But he found that Qin Xiong blocked his passing line, so he could only change his mind and shoot directly from a long shot!

The Ice Prince's long shot hit the bullseye. Lobont fell to the ground and swung wide. Although he lost his hand. Fortunately, Henry was not nearby, and Lyonberg's follow-up seemed to be a step slower. Lobont stood up and picked up the ball from the ground and held it in his arms.

Arsenal began to show its bloody fangs, and Ajax was not to be outdone.

Qin Xiong knew that he could not rush hard to the middle, and Vieira and Silva's defense was extremely tough and efficient.

In the 32nd minute of the fast break, Pinal restrained the opponent's two midfielders in the middle, Qin Xiong took the initiative to move to the left, and combined with Maxville and Sneider to form a triangular offensive system. The three of them skillfully and tacitly passed the triangle. Qin Xiong came to the left to the penalty area, and Vieira came to assist in defense. He did not press frantically, but prevented Qin Xiong from dribbling the ball and cutting inside. However, unexpectedly, Ajax, who was planning an offensive on the left, decisively passed by Qin Xiong with a long pass, shifted the attack to the right.

Van der Fate stopped the ball from the right outside the penalty area, and without hesitation when Arsenal's defense moved its center of gravity.

In order to ensure that Ibrahimovic can get the ball, the position where the ball passes compressed the angle of Ibrahimovic's shot. Ibrahimovic followed the trajectory of the football rolling, resisted Toure, and shot directly with a half-turn!

Unfortunately, the angle was still too small, and his volley was hit on the sideline.

Wenger was calm on the sidelines, but Koeman frowned.

There is a delicate balance on the scene.

This balance is that both teams are playing fast attacks, and both are mainly attacking from the wing.

Ajax and Arsenal can create shooting opportunities.

But it is not a great offensive opportunity.

It's just that under this balance, Ajax hides the crisis.

That is, when Qin Xiong assists and must support the full-back, Ajax can make an efficient attack on the flank. Otherwise, if there is insufficient troops, it will be difficult to tear open Arsenal's defense line.

But most Arsenals instigate counterattacks through the midfield and backcourt, and they can create a threatening attack without investing more troops.

What Koeman is worried about is that if Ajax's fast break is directly intercepted in the middle and backcourt in Arsenal, and then turned around to instigate a counterattack, Ajax's backcourt defense will appear empty.

What are you afraid of, what are you going to do.

In the 41st minute of the game, Qin Xiong came to the frontcourt to perform and gave Ibrahimovic a straight pass. Ibrahimovic did not take the ball as soon as possible. He wanted to adjust and tried to shake a better shooting angle in front of Campbell, but neglected Silva's return to defense behind him. The ball under his feet was destroyed by Silva and directly stabbed Lehman.

Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman passed the ball to Lauren, who passed Vieira by diagonally. At this time, Vieira made another pass to the side, and Ashley Cole rushed forward with lightning speed.

The whirlwind whirlwind strike on the side of Arsenal is staged again!

Qin Xiong sacrificed his life to run to the backcourt, but Arsenal passed the ball very quickly. This time, his starting position was not good. He had already penetrated too deep into the enemy area and had a long distance to return to defense.

Ashley Cole cut inward after passing the midfield. Pinal retreated and was defeated by Ashley Cole and Borgkamp. Ashley Cole made a pass through the penalty area and was left empty in the gap in the gap in the middle of the central defender and the fullback. Pire kept the ball back to the middle.

Henry got the ball in front of the penalty area, and there was a shooting angle in front of him. Galasseck came to defend. Henry pulled the ball back, took the countertangent line, and threw away Galasseck.

In the right-hand position in the middle of the penalty area, Henry's vision was slightly empty. Apart from the centre-back Escud, there were only goals and goalkeeper Lobonte.

Henry got up!

A kick was shot out, and the football was rotating strongly, passing an inward rotation arc in the sky. Lobonte flew to the extreme, but his fingertips failed to touch the football. The ball fell into the upper right corner of the goal, a dead corner!

"Thierry Henry! Henry scored a wonderful goal. He received Pire's pass from outside the penalty area, calmly swiped over Galasek and then pushed the ball to the front right, then shot a curved ball without anyone being disturbed. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal, which was extremely pleasing to the eye! Arsenal led Ajax 1:0 away!"

King of Gun King Henry swung his arms and nodded while running backwards on the sidelines. His eyes were looking at every teammate. Although he was not the team's captain, he was the key figure on the team's offense as the core of the offense.

Teammates rushed up and surrounded Henry in front of the visiting team stands, and they celebrated the goal together.

Henry's goal hit the Ajax people like a heavy punch, making them depressed and unable to breathe.

Wenger clenched his fists and waved it, then applauded the disciples.

Qin Xiong walked towards the backcourt with a solemn face.

Arsenal's anti-counterfeiting power cannot be underestimated.

Not only did Ajax not only prevent the center from attacking the middle, but even if he played on the wing, he seemed to be unable to attack on the left. Lauren's defense was very stable, and he did not frequently forward assists like Ashley Cole.

What makes Qin Xiong the most headache is to prevent Arsenal's fast attack. If one of his side's full-back and midfielders are not in the defense zone, the backcourt is too empty, and the opponent pushes the offense to the hinterland of Ajax in lightning, passes and cuts smoothly, which can greatly increase the probability of a fatal threat.
