465 Premier League and Europe

The second round of the Champions League group stage is coming.

Under the night, the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium was full of seats, and the atmosphere inside the stadium was hot.

Qin Xiong, who walked out of the players' locker room, felt very strange from the first time he came to the court.

Because he has never entered the visiting team's locker room at this stadium.

In the player channel, he first saw the defender Grigera, and he took the initiative to go forward and greeted Grigera with a one-handed hug. Vermaelen, De Jong, Pienaar, Babel, Stekelenburg, and finally Walked to the front and saw Sneijder and Garasek, who is now the captain.

Sneijder said to him solemnly: "Be careful today, you will make the Ajax people unhappy, and be careful that you can't get out of Amsterdam."

Qin Xiong laughed it off when he heard the words, and after hugging Garasek, he returned to the Arsenal team.

When players from both sides lined up to enter the field, Qin Xiong suddenly saw some fans in the stands playing slogans: "Welcome home, China Xiong!"

There must be a large number of Chinese fans in the Netherlands in the stands, but the mainstream is still Ajax's local fans. There are many fans who have always supported Qin Xiong. They will not forget that Qin Xiong brought Ajax the previous season. What happened, it was a spectacular scene that may be rarely seen in ten or twenty years, and the picture retained in memory will never be forgotten, and it will never be mottled or blurred.

Qin Xiong stood in the stadium with his head held high. When the emcee introduced the starting players of both sides, after calling Qin Xiong’s name, there were warm cheers at the scene. The new intention of Ajax fans to welcome Qin Xiong’s return is sincere , They were very happy to witness Qin Xiong's performance on the court once again.Even if he came back here as an opponent.

Qin Xiong restrained his inner emotions. He tried his best to isolate himself from outside influences. No matter good or bad, even if he was moved at this time, he had to suppress it in his heart to avoid problems in the game.

His friends in Holland, young and old, came to the stands.In order to avoid embarrassing positions, Sylvia chose to sit in the VIP seats to watch the game, while Georgia and Zeller stood in the fans' stands of the home team. Although Georgia worshiped and supported Qin Xiong as always, in terms of team loyalty, he is On the side of Ajax, like his father.The late Mr. Sloat.

"The second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the new season is about to begin. Ajax is playing at home against the Premier League giants Arsenal. The two teams are really destined. In the past four years, there is only one season where the two teams have not met. In the previous confrontation, Ajax Jax has a clear advantage. He once kept Arsenal out of the quarter-finals in the second stage of the Champions League group stage, and eliminated Arsenal in the 1/8 finals last season. Although the two teams met again this season, But because it is a group match, it is indeed not as intense as the previous encounters. The situation in this group is relatively clear. Ajax and Arsenal are the favorites to qualify. Thun and Sparta Prague are obviously less competitive. Ajax Sparta Prague drew with Sparta Prague in the last round. The result is not too bad, after all, it is an away game. Today they challenge Arsenal. If they can keep their unbeaten home game, Ajax still has a chance to compete for the top spot in the group.

The atmosphere told us that the Ajax fans were welcoming an Arsenal player.That's right, it was Qin Xiong who won the MVP in the Champions League final last year. He helped Ajax win the Triple Crown in the 03/04 season. , When Qin Xiong returned to the Amsterdam Arena, he was wearing an Arsenal jersey, but Ajax fans still welcomed his return.

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Ajax start 433.

Goalkeeper: Stekelenborg.

Defenders: Grigera, De Jong, Vermaelen, Emmanuelson.

Midfield: Garasek, Pienaar, Lindbergh.

Forwards: Babel, Huntelaar, Sneijder.

Arsenal starting 451.

Goalkeeper: Lehmann.

Defenders: Eboue, Toure, Senderos, Flamini.

Midfielders: Reyes, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva, Pires.

Forward: Henry.

Well, the game is about to start, and Ajax will take the lead in kicking off. "

After all, Ajax is still the Ajax who insists on 433 forever. Even if they face stronger opponents than them, they will still not waver. It is their persistence in offensive football that makes Ajax special.

As soon as the game started, Ajax immediately launched a threatening offensive.

After van der Vaart left, Pienaar became the midfield commander. He passed the football quickly and accurately. Sneijder was like a side midfielder in the frontcourt, similar to Pires' role in Arsenal's side.

At the beginning of the game, Sneijder used his skillful feet to make Eboue suffer a big loss. After Eboue was deftly wiped by Sneijder, Sneijder did not make a cross or continue to break into the penalty area. Lindberg, who followed up with an unexpected pass back to the inverted triangle, passed the ball into the penalty area after Fabregas panicked and made no mistakes.

Huntelaar moved sensitively to find an opportunity to shoot. Senderos made a final effort to block the horizontal shovel. The football hit his calf and was refracted and flew into the stands, only less than 30 above the crossbar. centimeters!

"Ajax almost broke the goal of Arsenal at the beginning of the game! Huntelaar's shot was blocked by Senderos and was refracted. The football will fly over the crossbar and into the stands."

Fabregas felt the pressure like never before.

The Premier League is the Premier League and Europe is Europe.

After he got used to the simple and rough style of play in the Premier League, he seemed a little overwhelmed after facing the delicate passing and cutting and richer offensive advancement methods of Europe.

Ajax has always been a representative team for the triangle pass in offense. Premier League teams rarely make unexpected triangle passes, and they are in a continuous offensive state.

Sometimes the Premier League team is like a bull that can't turn back, going forward and going forward, not passing back or adjusting transfers.

It is hard to imagine the delicate changes in the offense of many European teams with strong technical and tactical strength.

Even though Ajax's overall strength has declined, its technical and tactical quality is still at the forefront of Europe. This is inseparable from their entire youth training system, first-team training system, and football philosophy.

Today is a test for Cesc Fabregas.

Ajax's corner kick failed to create a threat. On the contrary, Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack fast break, Lindbergh consciously blocked Qin Xiong, Pinar and Garasek joined forces to defend, trying to form an encirclement to contain Qin Xiong.

In midfield, Qin Xiong didn't wait for the opponent's encirclement to form, and immediately shifted the ball to the left side of the front court. Pires tried to break through Grigera, but failed. This reminded Pires of the game last spring. Even against Ajax, he and Ljungberg hardly beat Grigera and Maxwell on the wing with their personal strength. (to be continued~^~)
