Chapter 1229 Midfield Suppression

Chapter 1229 Midfield Suppression

The game time passed little by little, and there was not much time left in the first half.

Ajax wanted to get back the goal as much as possible in the first half, but time did not allow it.

What's more, their overall situation is not particularly friendly.

In the face of Arsenal's midfield pressure, it is difficult for Ajax's midfield to perform.

Especially for De Jong's restrictions, Arsenal are very concerned about this.

De Jong kicked hard!

Ajax will play uncomfortable!

For this reason, Arsenal spent the entire first half around this point to control.

The process of the whole game was also very smooth, Arsenal took the lead to take the lead by two goals.

Although it is a temporary lead, if Ajax cannot make an effective response, it will be difficult for them to gain opportunities in the second half.

Soon, the halftime whistle sounded.

At the end of the first half, Ajax temporarily fell behind Arsenal 0:2.

"The first half is over. Judging from the current situation, Ajax's performance is not particularly good, or they failed to achieve the expected effect!"

Andy Graydao.

Richard: "Ajax as we know it should be an attacking and aggressive team, just like their performance in the league, just like they played against Real Madrid, they all It is to use a very sharp attack to open up the situation and score goals!"

"But when facing Arsenal, under the suppression of the midfield, Ajax couldn't play the rhythm they wanted at all, and was even blasted by Arsenal, scoring two goals!"

Andy Gray nodded; "Of course, Arsenal is currently one of the best teams in European football. If Ajax wants to beat Arsenal, they still need to make some adjustments during the intermission. Some intuitive tweaks!"

While the two commentators were talking, the Ajax locker room was full of noise.

"There is no chance in the frontcourt!"

"The midfielder is suppressed too much, and the striker needs to withdraw some pressure!"

"Once we drop back, it will be too late to attack. Arsenal will not give us a chance to run behind them!"

"There is a lot of pressure on the back line, the midfielder can't defend, and the back line suffers!"

Everyone was expressing their own opinions, and at the same time there were some complaints.

After kicking the whole first half, just two words.

'Aggrieved'!

Not to mention controlling the rhythm, even the confrontation in the midfield is difficult.

Can't resist physical confrontation, can't penetrate the pass, can't play high press.

The current situation is that there is no way, and there is no point that can turn the situation around.

And it is precisely because of this that the Ajax players are so impatient.

While everyone was chattering, De Jong remained silent.

His expression was a little lonely.

Ben greeted the game with full confidence, but after 45 minutes of the game, he was hit too hard.

He believes that his ability can wrestle with the top European players, and even if he is not good enough, he can cause some troubles.

But in the current situation, let alone trouble, he was suppressed almost the whole time.

Except for the opening trial stage, Arsenal and Lucky did not give him any chance to pass the ball easily.

"We need a little more out of the ball."

Tadic said.

As the oldest and most experienced player, he knows exactly what Ajax is going through.

It is true that De Jong is a talented player, but at least at this stage, De Jong cannot compete with Lucky.

It is almost impossible to rely on De Jong to open up the situation.

Therefore, De Jong needs help and needs someone in the midfield to help him sort out his rhythm and share the task of delivering the ball.

The same is true of Ajax coach Ten Hag's thoughts.

The current crux of the problem is the problem of the ball in the middle. As long as this link is resolved, they can still threaten Arsenal's goal.

So how to increase the ball line?

The two sides retreat, or the central midfielder takes on the task of delivering the ball.

In the past, it should be more inclined to the latter, but Van der Beek is not a creative player. He is more inclined to an engineer-type midfielder. Both passing and delivering the ball are quite satisfactory, and it is difficult to threaten Arsenal. defense line.

To this end, Ten Hag gave more tasks to the two wingers.

The winger retreats, while helping to relieve the pressure on the midfielder, and at the same time sharing the task of delivering the ball.

At the same time, Ten Hag also found De Jong and gave him verbal encouragement.

This game was a big blow to De Jong, and some psychological counseling was needed for this.

With Ten Hag's encouragement and comfort, De Jong's expression turned slightly, but it was still not particularly good-looking.

At the same time, in the arena, the commentators are also analyzing the second half of the game.

They believe that the game is in the second half. If Ajax fails to make effective changes, then the game will lose its suspense.

In the words of the commentator, players from both sides also began to return to the field.

In the camera, the Ajax players looked much more serious.

Arsenal, on the other hand, was relatively relaxed, talking and laughing when they walked out of the player tunnel.

With a lead of two goals, Arsenal has more dominance, while Ajax needs to consider many issues.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought.

Arsenal took the lead.

When the two sides were ready, Girugo broke the ball.

"The second half of the game has begun! After the first half of the game, the two sides currently show that Ajax is 0:2 behind Arsenal."

"For Ajax, if they want to go further in the Champions League, they must climb the mountain of Arsenal!"

"Of course, this is not an easy task. It can even be said that this is the strongest team they have encountered so far!"

After Arsenal kicked off, the Ajax players began to press fiercely.

Under the high pressure of Ajax, Arsenal slowly retreated, and they were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

When the Ajax players began to enter the Arsenal half, their movements soon began to slow down, as if full of hesitation.

Based on Arsenal's counterattack ability, on the one hand, they have to press forward to draw, and on the other hand, they have the advantage of retreating to defend.

In this kind of decision, it is obviously difficult for Ajax to make a choice.

And Arsenal easily moved the ball from the left wing to the front, but they still didn't rush to attack, and even Lucky didn't press forward.

This is Arsenal's usual method.

When they think they've gained a certain level of advantage, they won't push too hard unless they're getting their morale up and feeling good.

Lucky's position is a clear signal.

Lucky and Kanter once again built a defensive network, leaving the frontcourt to the strikers to manage.

"Arsenal began to turn to defense. After they led by two goals in the away game, Arsenal as a whole began to move in a safe direction. After all, with this score, Arsenal did not need to take the risk of continuing to attack, but they were in the frontcourt. The oppression is still enough!"

"Especially in the opening stage, Arsenal didn't want to make it easy for Ajax. For this reason, they put a lot of pressure on them!"

"However, Ajax's two wingers also began to drop back to join the rhythm of conduction. Obviously this is a change made by Ajax to help the team move forward and attack."

"But the problem is that the winger retreated, which left Ajax with only one Tadic player in the frontcourt!"

"Can he take on the job of Ajax's attacking arrow?"

Bullshit!

Tadic's answer was very concise.

When the two wingers retreat and the wings are not protected and supported, he is in the stage of fighting alone.

May I ask how bad his performance is in the defense of the four of Kanter, Lucky, Hummels, and Jimenez to drive the offense.

For this reason, all he can do is wait for his teammates to bring the ball out.

If he chooses a long pass or a low pass, he has no chance at all.

Ajax also understands this truth. For this reason, they are not counting on Tadic to score without help.

Instead, it focuses on steady passing and probing.

They have to play patiently. Playing against a team like Arsenal, once they start to worry, they will reveal more flaws.

A small loophole could be exploited by Arsenal and open their goal again.
