Chapter 162: Shooting Into the Goal (Supplement)

Seeing that Tadic failed to turn around, De Jong also frowned slightly.

This is the method Tadic is best at, but it failed to show results when facing Arsenal. This means that Arsenal put a lot of defensive pressure on him.

De Jong quickly retreated.

At this time, the ball has passed to Arsenal's feet.

After Lucky moved the ball forward a few times, he was pressed by Van Der Beek.

In the Ajax team, although Van de Beek stands in the central midfielder position, his role is completely different from Wilshere.

Wilshere is the offensive starting point and organizational point in the frontcourt, and has the right to decide the offense independently.

But not Van de Beek.

He is an engineering midfielder, and De Jong standing behind him has unlimited offensive power.

His role is to pass the safe ball along the established route in the frontcourt while also taking into account defense.

Arsenal's attack was not as intense as the counterattack, and their advancement was not fast. For this reason, Ajax began to press fiercely in the midfield.

But based on the two ball-holding points of Lucky and Wilshere, the two almost carry Arsenal's passing capital.

Ajax pressed hard, but they were unable to steal the ball from Arsenal.

"The ball-holding abilities of Wilshere and Kay are guaranteed. These two are also the key to holding the ball in Arsenal's midfield. Combined with the defensive abilities of Kay and Kante, Arsenal's strong midfield system is constructed. This midfielder can defend but also attack."

"Many people think that Arsenal is a team that focuses on defense, which is not wrong in itself, but if Arsenal's offensive ability is ignored, then the opponent will be in big trouble."

The ball was passed to Lucky's feet again in the transmission room.

At this time, Lucky was already very close to the penalty area line.

Lucky's head kept moving left and right, looking for his teammates.

Ajax's defensive density on the central axis is very high, which requires some defensive strength to be dispersed.

To this end, Lucai decisively spiked the ball back and signaled his teammates to pull back.

After seeing Lucai's instructions, everyone retreated directly without any pause.

After retreating, Lucky passed the ball to Dembe and immediately nodded slightly towards the opponent.

Seeing Lucai's signal, Dembeilai's eyes suddenly brightened.

No forward can resist the temptation of dribbling and breakthrough, especially a player with outstanding skills like Dembe.

He likes to break through, but based on tactics and system, he will have some sense of proportion.

But Mourinho had already said it before the game.

‘After obtaining the approval of the midfielder, the two wingers can dribble and break through on their own. ’

This sentence made Dembele very excited, because he could finally move forward without any worries or brains.

Dembe came to action.

He stepped forward and dribbled straight towards the wing.

Seeing Dembe's posture, Feltman, an Ajax full-back, was also surprised and immediately approached to restrict him.

He thought that after Dembe approached him, he would choose to pass the ball.

But this guy had no intention of doing so. He kept feinting and changing directions.

"He's going to break through!"

Seeing this, Feltman understood.

I felt a little angry and a little nervous.

I was angry because the opponent actually wanted to blast the wing alone. This was how much they looked down on themselves.

He was nervous because Dembe was shaking and changing direction so fast that he couldn't keep up.

He knows very well that Dembe is waiting for him to make a move now.

The moment he takes a shot, Dembe will choose to break through instantly.

Feltman is very experienced, but he doesn't take any shots, but blocks the inside.

Dembe came to see that the other party did not move, and understood the other party's intention.

But that doesn't mean he can't get through it.

Since the opponent didn't take the initiative, he had no choice but to take the initiative to break through.

I saw Dembeilai kicking forward violently, and immediately he rushed forward like an arrow from a string.

Feltman was stunned by this explosive power.

Almost instantly, he couldn't keep up with Dembe's start.

When he wanted to catch up, Dembeilai had already begun to squeeze inwards.

Ajax's defense was suddenly in danger.

At this time, Dembe came to look up at the middle.

Have the opportunity!

He immediately passed the ball across with his left foot, hoping that his teammates could score the ball into the goal.

But before the ball was passed in place, a leg suddenly appeared halfway.

The ball hit his leg and flew into the air, and goalkeeper Onana knocked the ball away with both fists.

"De Ligt! Instant clearance!

"

shouted the Dutch commentator loudly.

On the Sky Sports commentary desk, Andy Gray also regretted; "De Ligt, the young captain of Ajax, made a decisive move. If there was no block from this kick, then with Giroud's position, Arsenal would Maybe he’ll score a goal!”

Richard: "De Ligt has a good grasp of the timing of attacks and defense. This is also the key to this young man becoming the core of Ajax's defense!"

"His clearances and tackles are excellent. Maybe he will become a big player in Arsenal's attack."

Before he finished speaking, Richard's eyes suddenly widened.

Because, after goalkeeper Onana knocked the ball away with both fists, the ball came to Wilshere's feet.

While Wilshere was fighting for the ball with the opponent, the ball ran towards the middle of the penalty area again.

And there, Lekai rushed forward quickly, swung his right foot and shot directly at the goal.

The ball went through the crowd, even through the crotch of defender Blind's outstretched foot, and flew straight into the goal.

Only 4 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored the first goal.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

!"

"Unexpected goal!

This explosive shot made the Ajax defense unable to stop it, and goalkeeper Onana was completely unable to react!"

"Kai scored a goal just 4 minutes after the start!"

"He helped Arsenal to open the opponent's goal first!"

The entire Cruyff Arena was silent.

The Ajax fans didn't even know what was going on.

When they came to their senses, they saw that the ball had fallen into the net.

One second ago, they were still cheering for De Ligt's wonderful defense, and the next second, they lost the ball.

At the same time, as the scorer, Luka stood in the court with his arms open, like a king.

The Ajax players were also stunned.

They didn't think about Luka's problem, nor did they think that Luka would score so quickly.

De Ligt was still lying on the ground.

De Jong was still standing in the position to prepare for a counterattack.

Others also made a counterattack gesture. They didn't expect to lose the ball at this moment.

Even Ajax coach Ten Hag, who was standing on the sidelines, had a dull look on his face.

This goal was simply a ghost!

"The embodiment of extreme personal ability! This is the opportunity Kai found in the chaos!"

"We don't deny that Ajax is good at fast-paced games and finding opportunities in chaos, but when it comes to seizing opportunities, Arsenal has never been afraid!"

"They can show such a wonderful performance in the chaotic Premier League, let alone facing other teams!"

"Ajax's fast pace is really too slow in Arsenal's view!"

Andy Gray started to brag again.

This guy is a Premier League braggart, thinking that the Premier League is the world's number one league.

Before, the Champions League was almost dominated by La Liga, and Andy Gray was uncomfortable for a long time.

But with the rise of Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool, he once again showed his bragging style.

He began to praise Arsenal, after all, praising Arsenal is equivalent to praising the Premier League.

At the same time, in the stadium, Arsenal players have ended their celebration and started to walk towards their own half.

And Ajax players still can't accept it.

Four minutes into the game, losing the ball at home, this is not losing the ball, but a shame!

Especially for those young players, before the game started, they all shouted to beat Arsenal and kick them out of the Champions League.

But at the beginning of the game, they were scored a goal by Arsenal.

And they didn't realize it until after the goal, they couldn't even react before.

At this moment, they also deeply realized the strength of Arsenal.

Perhaps it is this strength that makes the whole of Europe praise the Gunners!
