202 The Last Gamble
Today, I explode again!
First update.
------
Songke has no tacit understanding with the main attack group, and he and Ibrahimovic are centers with very different characteristics. If he comes on the court, the offensive ideas of the other three offensive players may change.
It is understandable not to go to Songke.
But O'Brien doesn't have much tacit understanding with the main players of the first team, but perhaps Koeman chose him as a defensive player, it's enough to just destroy the opponent's offense!
One more person, maybe.
O'Brien didn't expect that he would play the game. He hurriedly warmed up and put on the game. It was shocking when he touched the ball for the first time.
Stop error!
This is not an ordinary match, it is the Champions League semi-final, and Ajax is still playing away!
O'Brien, who hadn't played several high-quality games seriously in one season, was understandable.
But maybe it is unacceptable!
Qin Xiong felt that Koeman was better than sending Pinal, so that at least the midfielders would cooperate with passing and delay time.
The reason why he thought so was because O'Brien made a stop-off mistake, which almost made Zix shoot a long shot in front of the penalty area and blasted Lobonte's ten fingers.
As a teammate, he didn't dare to pass the ball to O'Brien with confidence.
With a lack of an offensive player who can become a fulcrum at any time in the frontcourt, it is difficult for Ajax to exert its power in counterattacks. Even if there is room, the distance between teammates is too far away. Even if two fullbacks frequently assist, Monaco can still cut Ajax's offensive system through active running and joint defense in the local area.
After Ibrahimovic was injured, Ajax's substitution was a failure!
The players who are replaced are not required to be able to replace Ibrahimovic perfectly. But at least they must play a positive role.
But O'Brien played a counter-effect. He did not perform at normal levels in defense. Perhaps he did not enter the game state, perhaps because Monaco's crazy momentum to equalize the score was too scary. He became a mess on his own defense line when defending.
Ajax's defense line was full of dangers. From the 78th minute to the 85th minute, Monaco launched continuous threatening offensives. With the two-sided defenders unscrupulously supporting the assists, Roten and Juli's roles were recovering.
In the 86th minute, Roten and Evra made exquisite cooperation on the side of the frontcourt. Roten went from the baseline to cut into the penalty area. Evra passed the ball to him. O'Brien returned to defense to intercept Roten. Since he had gone, other teammates would go to guard other targets and guard the dangerous area.
But O'Brien rashly fought and easily lost his center of gravity. Roten flexibly spiked the ball.
After seeing this, Qin Xiong and Derong went to block Roten at the same time, but it was too late. Roten suddenly shot with a small angle!
The powerful and powerful shot tested Lobonte. He blocked the goal near the post, but the ball flew towards the blind spot above the inside of the post!
Lobant raised his hand to block it, and the football refracted and bounced out at the junction of the beam and the column!
The football rebounded in the penalty area was shot by Morientes immediately!
Morientes didn't choose much of the supplemental shooting angle in a narrow space, and the football hit Lobonte directly and popped up again!
There was chaos in the penalty area, and Qin Xiong had no choice but to be able to catch the trajectory of the football. He looked around and found where the football was. When he saw it, Benardi kicked his feet on the penalty area line!
Re-shot shot again.
Benardi seemed to be shooting with his eyes closed, and his route was the same as Morientes' shooting line. He looked like he regarded Lobonte as a goal!
Surprisingly, on the half-high ball flight route, Hetinga stretched out his legs to clear the ball, and the football rubbed it against his feet and refracted!
Lobonte was stunned. He had already stood up and was ready to save, but the football actually refracted in front of him and rushed through the top of his head and into the goal behind him!
Haitingjia raised his hand and grabbed his hair with a dull look on his face. He didn't expect that he would do anything good. Not only did he fail to clear the ball, but he also interfered with almost 100% chance of his goalkeeper's save.
The Louis II stadium was shouting for a long time, and Monaco fans saw hope!
"Bernaldi equalized the score for Monaco! 2:2! Haha, Ajax underestimated Monaco. They thought they were sure to win 2:1. They were very wrong! They paid the price for being conservative too early! Look at their defense line in the past ten minutes, if they can't threaten Monaco's defense line with attack and give Monaco the opportunity to attack unscrupulously, then they will definitely regret it!"
Yes, if Qin Xiong could hear the comments from the commentator, he would nod in agreement.
To be honest, if Ajax's defense is, even if it is a defensive system with two midfielders, it may not be able to really resist the enemy thousands of miles away!
Even if you want to keep the fruits of victory and want to win the game conservatively, you should use Ajax's strengths.
The first is the speed of offense and defense conversion, that is, use counterattack to deter the opponent.
The second is to control the game through group cooperation and player skills.
If you simply accumulate defensive players to defend, sorry, Ajax is not good at all!
They are not Italian teams!
During their growth and baptism, the offensive factor is mobilized and activated by the club coaches all the time.
If one day Ajax's defense looks firm and unbreakable, it is definitely not obtained by defense in the pure sense, but because they are using attack instead of defense!
Use offense to suppress the opponent, make the opponent weaken the offense, and dare not over-invest in the offense, and use offense instead of defense!
Qin Xiong walked out of the penalty area silently. Although there was not much time left for the game, Ajax continued to let his opponent attack wildly, and chaos continued to occur in the penalty area. Who dares to say that Monaco would not enter one more? Two more?
Manchester United has told the world that even in the Champions League final, it takes no more than 3 minutes to score two goals!
Besides, Monaco's situation is much better now than Manchester United at that time. The score is a draw, and they are not on the verge of death.
Changes must be made!
Control the scene?
It's difficult and dangerous.
If you control the ball in the middle and backcourt, once you lose the ball, you may cause a big disaster.
A counterattack threat must be launched!
Van der Fat and Sneider were about to kick off in the middle circle. Qin Xiong walked up and asked in a low voice: "How are you physically? Can a 30-meter sprint be possible?"
The court is very large, but it needs to play a counterattack effect. Starting from the midfield line and running a 30-meter sprint, basically entering the area with a high shooting rate. Therefore, football players also pay attention to the 30-meter sprint speed, not the 100-meter speed.
There is no need to hide anything between teammates, everyone is for the benefit of the team.
Van der Fate shook his head openly, and Sneider made the same move.
Both of them have reached this stage of physical fitness. It may be okay to get rid of the ball, but it is difficult to sprint for 30 meters to ensure that their skills are not performed properly.
Qin Xiong nodded and said to the two of them: "Then you go back to defend and pass the ball to me, I feel that it's OK."
The two nodded slightly and agreed to Qin Xiong's suggestion.
After re-telebrating, Ajax did not push up a lot. Since he couldn't rush, he naturally couldn't defend himself.
Monaco is full of momentum and hopes to win the game in the shortest remaining time.
The full-back came up, and with the retreat of two Ajax wingers, Monaco's midfield line also came up.
In the scene, Monaco seemed to be a beast roaring at the door of Ajax's house.
But perhaps because there is not much time left, the mentality of Monaco players has changed. They are more eager to succeed, they are not patient enough in the offense and have not created good opportunities. They are more like trying their luck, hoping that Ajax will make mistakes in the chaos.
Before injury time, Deschamps took down a midfielder like a gambling and replaced a striker. Adebayo from Africa came on the court and rushed directly into Ajax's penalty area to increase their offensive points in the penalty area.
But Koeman didn't dare to replace him. He also saw that it was a failure to replace O'Brien. If he changed now, it might disrupt Ajax's defensive system, which was shaky but not completely collapsed.
Chapter completed!
