Well, the opening ceremony of the Champions League competition has been completed, the players on both sides stand ready to kick off the ball, and with the whistle of the referee, the h group's life and death battle kicks off! "
Head Coach Koeman is confident, he lost to Ancelotti, that is not as good as people, not convinced.
But come to the away game venue, once again facing the Celta de Vigo Manager Lotina, Thaksin Shinawatra is full of hearts.
Celta de Vigo's paper strength, in fact, is obvious, can not be top, but strong enough, but, they lack of European war experience, this from the last game in Amsterdam, as well as the game of the other manager Lotina in the line-up.
AFC Ajax has no retreat and will be eliminated if it cannot win.
In this case, AFC Ajax will definitely attack when he comes to the away game venue.
Celta de Vigo has made such a radical formation, 343.
Although the situation in front of Celta de Vigo is similar, if you can't win, the probability of being eliminated is great, but they have the advantage of home, plus the arrogance of AFC Ajax from the status of football, Celta de Vigo does not need to be so radical!
This is also good, Celta de Vigo is going to fight, AFC Ajax can't, and Koeman thinks.
At the beginning of the game, Qin Xiong was concentrating on the game. Celta de Vigo pulled the rhythm from the opening and the attack was very fast.
They are mainly on the sidewalk.
With the two side combinations of Sylvinho – Hersuli, Vera Sco – Edu repeatedly impact AFC Ajax's sideline, Luccin is scheduled in the middle.
The role of Sneijder and Van Der Vaart in the defense is not so obvious, which gives Celta de Vigo a huge advantage in the offensive attack after the opening, always moving the offense from the frontcourt to the middle.
AFC Ajax away game venue Combat, entering the state is slow, Qin Xiong has to retreat more in the opening position to focus on the defensive, opponents violent attack, he does not mind, even the more opponents play, AFC Ajax instead better.
Heitinga encountered trouble, because the opposing side attack player number, guard against internal cut work, only rely on Qin Xiong and de Jong is not enough, if he and Escudé join forces to block each other striker Catanha still down, can Celta de Vigo These three striker, Edu, Catanha, Hesuli, all have a good ability to control the ball, one-on-one defense if can not be perfect, there must be teammate co-defense, because of this, escudé attention will be dispersed, defensive catanha work, mainly fell on the Heitinga body.
This is not transferred by Heitinga's will, because Catanha's main area of activity, like Heitinga, obviously bullies him young!
Catanha is not like a Brazil Striker at all. He has a nickname "hairy crab". He has the highest number of fouls per year, and he is called "the evil". The most brutal evil he committed is the French Goalkeeper Dutte of Barcelona. Ruel's legs smashed, and at the same time smashed Swede Defender Anderson into a shock in the headball!
From the beginning of the game, Catanha arbitrarily provoked Heitinga, rudely colliding in the chance of scrambling, seemingly recklessly entangled after losing the ball, which irritated Heitinga.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Hersuli made a 45-degree cross from the side, Catanha defeated Heitinga in the header, but the two were not in the same league. Catanha's header was almost the same as the clearance, but after landing, Heitinga fell to the ground and Catanha kicked Heitinga's arm "inadvertently".
This made Heitinga immediately get up and confront him!
The main referee blew the game, ran to separate the two, and gave two people a warning.
In the 7th minute, Qin Xiong began to show his talents after he had figured out the opponent's offensive routine and offensive and defensive rhythm.
He made a triangle pass with Maxwell and Pienaar, and then quickly moved through the half. In the opponent's midfield combination, Bury FC was mainly responsible for defense, Luccin had both offense and defense, and Qin Xiong brought to Luccin. The ball was handed over to Pienaar.
He and Pienaar have a parallel cross transposition running match, in the process, Qin Xiong oblique plug bury FC and Luccin in the middle of the void, Pienaar and then pass to Qin Xiong, two people join forces, play through the opponent's midfield line!
The opponent has three Defenders, and the frontal breakthrough space is naturally small, because the horizontal defensive area is much smaller.
Qin Xiong took the ball to the front right side of the penalty area. When Juanfran moved to him, Qin Xiong immediately sent a very penetrating straight plug.
Van Der Vaart, who is offside from Juanfran, has directly entered the penalty area!
Half single knife!
Ibrahim in the middle of the road opened Sergio with a flexible running position, and came to the empty space of the encounter.
Ibrahim confirmed that as long as Van Der Vaart passes the ball, he will score the ball!
However, Van Der Vaart used his left foot to shoot directly, hoping to get the ball into the corner of the goal!
In 2002, World Cup Argentina's national gate Cavaleiro used the body to block the ball from the near post. Van Der Vaart's shot was heavy and he could not react with his hand, but his body blocked the goal!
Van Der Vaart regretted his head, and Ibrahim complained, but Van Der Vaart didn't go see him.
Inside the Estadio Muncipal de Balaídos, Celta de Vigo fans applauded the performance of Cavaleiro.
Qin Xiong slightly frowns.
He does not really care about the personal statistics of the game.
So he passed the ball to Van Der Vaart and didn't care if he could get a direct Assists.
He believes that the better opportunity just now is of course Ibrahim who has a chance to cross the ball in front of Van Der Vaart.
He is ready to attack the corner kick, and he is not relieved. It is very common to miss one or two opportunities in the game.
Celta de Vigo Today's formation play, if it does not change like this, Qin Xiong believes that AFC Ajax will get a very, very good offensive opportunity.
The opponent's three Defender, as long as the midfield line defense is broken, the three Defender can't help the AFC Ajax winger cut in!
After 5 minutes, Edu broke the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and was broken by Maxwell. AFC Ajax launched a fast break.
After the ball arrived at Qin Xiong's feet, he immediately took the ball through the half, Vera Sko rushed to stop, Qin Xiong stepped, Vera Sco also followed the body, but after Qin Xiong re-accelerated, Vera S The section is obviously unable to keep up, and the rhythm changes in the tape are the favorite of Qin Xiong.
In the frontcourt, Luccin and Bury FC took lessons and took control of the defense in the middle of the penalty area.
However, in their surprised eyes, Qin Xiong took the ball and suddenly went to the sidewalk, and Sneijder's heart would cross into the middle to form a disturbance.
Qin Xiong went to the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball to Ibrahim who was slightly retraced.
After passing the ball, when Celta de Vigo right-back Contra stared down the direction of the football, Qin Xiong looked coldly around him, ready to explode!
Ibrahim responded to the pass in the middle, Van Der Vaart on the right and Qin Xiong on the left, all looking at Ibrahim, waiting for him, sending a pass, simply leaning straight, left and right, whatever I can do it all the time!
However, Ibrahim has made a step in the horizontal direction and shot directly!
