Chapter 331 Ajax's Anger
The two sides know that they have played for more than two seasons, and there are no tricks for each other. Soon after Sunday and adapting to the field in the afternoon, the coaches of the two sides announced the starting lineup. Ajax played all the main players, while Alkmaar rotated several substitutes.
At 18 o'clock, when there was still a red halo in the western sky, the Dutch Cup final kicked off.
The referee in charge of this focus game is Temink, who is the tallest and has the highest playing rate in the Netherlands. Before the game, many media believed that a referee who likes to play in this game is the protection of Alkmaar by the FA.
Although Alkmaar is now famous, Ajax's background should not be underestimated. At De Kuip Stadium, Alkmaar is slightly at a low level than the number of fans on both sides.
The famous Dutch commentator Evans and senior ball critic Aneid are responsible for the broadcast of the game.
"... Suleiman replaced the long-time full-time Rise and Drogba started after many games. Robben sat on the bench, and the veteran La Yi appeared on the stage. Jiang Mu said he would try his best, but Alkmaar replaced a number of non-main players today. It seems that Jiang Mu's focus is still on the Champions League." Evans said.
"As long as the brain is still rational, everyone will do this, but it can't be said that Alkmaar doesn't want to win the Dutch Cup championship. It is possible that the substitute will be more fierce. Alkma's championship bonus is the first in the Dutch league, but now the strength comparison between the two sides has been reduced... What will happen depends on the comparison. Sai." Senior ball critic Anerid said.
The first to kick off is Ajax.
After all, Ajax is a big team. In the final, the opponent actually had a large number of substitutes. They were obviously stimulated by Alkmaar and were very angry. They launched an attack at the beginning. The three lines were fast premise at the same time, and the high tide pressed against Alkmaar's half, Witz, Olisehe, Avilaze. The four people from Babangida pressed Alkmaar's holding and receiving players, and the guard line mentioned the position more than ten meters away from the penalty area in just ten seconds.
"Domineering! The aura of the rich family is still there! After the start, Alkmaar played very steadily, while Ajax brought the defense to the midfield. Ajax was obviously stimulated by Jiang Mu. With a substitute in the final, any rich team would be angry.
Commentator Evans said.
Although Ajax transitioned from Waters to Westhoff, their offensive method is still the traditional Dutch attack. The winger winger directly passes the defender and passes the ball to the ball. The center stands in the penalty area waiting to pick up the goal. If the side road cannot be opened, it can pull the opponent's defensive force to the side, so that they can Mercury can be penetrated in the middle road.
After Ajax grabbed the ball, the ball was handed over to the foot of Van der Fart, who was the midfielder, and the two fast wingers and wingers on the sidelines, Oliseh and Babangida, quickly stepped forward.
Van der Fart is a talented teenager who has emerged this season. He is only one year older than Robben, but he provoked the leader of Ajax's attack. His feet are skillful, and people are like clouds and flowing water, which makes people unable to defend. He couldn't find a chance in the middle and pulled him to the right to attack. His breakthrough made Bronkamp uncomfortable. Fortunately, Jiang Mu Five midfielders were arranged in the middle, and the midfielder Gattuso came to help from time to time, which made Van der Fart's technical advantage invisible.
Suleiman, a long-term substitute, encountered a little trouble. Ajax's right attacker is Babangida, and Babangida is a Nigerian. His speed is amazing. Suleiman is already strong and weak. He is helpless about Babangida's breakthrough. His speed is not slow. Alkmaar can rank in the top five and has also played against Babangida, but in the face of his opponent's unreasonable speed breakthrough, Suleiman can only be forced to defend.
Before the game, Jiang Mu gave instructions to Suleiman. If he couldn't prevent it, he asked Babangida to pass it. Anyway, this Nigerian rough brother would not cut inside. Don't foul easily. This referee is too good at trading cards.
Ajax attacked at the beginning, but Alkmaar's players were not panicked, because they had seen too much of this way of play. The whole Netherlands played like this. During this period, the players also watched and again and studied Ajax's classic playing style. Although Ajax's passing is fast, skillful and threatening, Alkmaar's targeted research is not difficult to deal with.
The game played for ten minutes. In these ten minutes, Ajax completed four breakthrough passes from the side. From the perspective of Ajax fans, Alkmaar's side defense is basically trapped, and the left and right side almost did not block Ajax's cross, but the player who grabbed the point in the middle is not enough. If it is changed to A powerful striker like Cruyvette, Alkmar has conceded the ball for a long time.
However, from the perspective of some high-level fans and professionals, Alkmaar concentrated the key position in the middle of the penalty area, relaxed the control of the side road, made full use of the compression of the length and width of the court, so that the ball and player activity area was mainly concentrated at the front of the penalty area, so that Ajax's The attack is tangible, but there is no real threat.
Westhoff behaved very calmly. After the opening, his buttocks did not even touch the seat, and he looked distracted. However, Jiang Mu was very calm. He wore Armani's sportswear and stood on the sidelines with his hands behind his back. Even if the team encountered a troublesome attack, Jiang Mu did not say at all that he knew that the players could cope with it. It is impossible to play against a team like Ajax without any trouble. For the UEFA Champions League final three days later, Jiang Mu rationally gave up the scene and was dedicated to pursuing good results.
Ten minutes later, Ajax's attack did not pose any substantial threat, nor did he shoot a goal, while Alkmaar, who had too many substitutes, slowly adapted to the tense atmosphere of the finals, his movements were cleaner and more neat, and his counterattacks became sharper and sharper.
Alkmaar's counterattack is very fast. No matter where they get the ball, they will pass the ball directly to the front court to find Drogba. Drogba does not take the ball, but takes the ball back to the inserted Ronaldinho, Kuyt, and sometimes veteran Layi, and a small team is formed between three or four people.
This kind of counterattack is very simple, and it is not difficult to operate at all, but the threat is not small, because as long as the opponent's defense does not return to the position once, Alkmaar will immediately form three or four offensive players to deal with the opponent's three or four defenders.
Without Van Bommel, without Riser, Alkmaar's long pass is not so accurate, but every time it will make Ajax's defense chaotic. Ajax sees that Drogba is a bridgehead, but Drogba is like an elephant, extremely strong, unable to push down, unable to pull, and the defenders are not Dare to foul easily, because the referee Temink is too strict.
After 15 minutes of the game, Ajax launched a beautiful offensive from the sideline under the leadership of the young genius Van der Fate. Blonkamp was shaken on the sideline by Van der Fate, and Gattuso's shovel was also dodged by Van der Fate.
Van der Fate saw that the effect of the cross was not good and wanted to wipe it into the penalty area from the bottom line, but at this time, Gattuso had already arrived. Gattuso stopped Van der Fate's way forward. He did not take a foot and waited for Van der Fate to make a move first.
When there is only one direction to move forward, no fake action can work. Van de Fat is worried about the defensive player behind him. Seeing that there is no chance to shoot, he passes the ball to the front of the penalty area, hoping to give Avillaze a chance to shoot.
Van der Fart's pass was very accurate, and he passed the ball to Avilazer's feet in the seam.
Someone around Avilaze has been staring at the defense. He wants to dial the ball directly to deceive the defender and then shoot. But Lucio, who defended Avilaze, was not so easy to cheat. Before the ball passed to Avilaze's feet, Lucio's tackle arrived, just shoveling the ball in front of Suleiman on the side.
Suleiman looked at the no one around, smoothed the ball, and directly raised his foot to find Drogba.
This time Suleiman's long pass is very reliable. Drogba can grab this landing point without moving.
Ajax's central defender Virkrau and DeKler also saw the landing point of the ball and tried their best to hit Drogba, trying to squeeze Drogba's position away, at least to make Drogba less comfortable receiving the ball.
But Drogba stood still against the two centre-backs on his back, and the two centre-backs did not let Drogba move half a step. When the ball flew in and the three of them jumped up to fight for the header, Drogba directly knocked the two central defenders away and ferryed the ball to the side road to find Ronaldinho.
"Droba! Oh! Drogba!" Alkmaar fans in the stands shouted for encouragement.
If Drogba's role is the attacking lighthouse and bridgehead, then Ronaldinho's role is the transmission. He takes the ball and sprints at high speed, attacks behind the opponent, drags Ajax into the fastest pace of the game, and consumes their physical strength.
Ronaldinho's high-speed sprint forced Ajax to move backwards as a whole. They can't let their guard line bear the responsibility of defense alone. All attack and defense are the soul of Ajax.
Ronaldinho's direct opponent is Romania's talented defender Qiwo.
Qiwo's self-confidence is very strong. He didn't ask his companions to defend. He played Ronaldinho alone.
Xiao Luo also knew Qiwo's fame and strength. He did not dare to neglect and rushed to the bottom line along the outside line at high speed with the ball. Qiwo was firmly stuck in the inside line, did not give Ronaldo and the opportunity to cross, and allowed him to carry the ball on the outside.
Xiao Luo took the ball to the bottom line at high speed, and suddenly stepped on the ball near the bottom line and stopped suddenly, trying to shake Qiwo.
Qiwo has been guarding against Xiao Luo's move. He followed and stopped his footsteps. After stabilizing his center of gravity, he was still in front of Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo saw that he did not shake Qiwo away and steadily passed the ball back to full-back Suleiman, who had followed the middle circle.
Suleiman passed the ball directly to the middle to find another organizer.
Lai saw that Ajax's defender was right by his side. He did not stop the ball. He passed the ball behind Ajax defender from the middle distance and looked for Drogba again.
Lai's pass is very mastery, and the timing and strength are well grasped. When the two central defenders turned around, Drogba had already rushed together with the two of them.
The two central defenders, Virkrau and De Kler, want to close the door, but there seems to be no hope of closing the door, because Drogba has rushed to the crack of the door, and they can only foul.
Virkrau came a little forward. His foul would not be a red card, so he kicked Drogba's calf from behind. Drogba was really strong, and the central defender Virkrau followed the yellow card. He wanted to keep Drogba or put Drogba down. De Kler had no choice but to pull back the corner of Drogba's clothes desperately, slowing down Drogba's progress and letting the goalkeeper Grimm come out to get the ball.
At this time, Temink's whistle rang.
Ajax fans are nervous. They don't know who will foul the whistle. But Alkmaar's fans shouted excitedly, "The penalty kick."
Immediately, Alkmaar fans were angry and Ajax' fans laughed, because Temink awarded a foul of Virklau, a yellow card. If it was DeClaire behind the penalty, it was a red card, because DeClaire was the last defender.
