Ajax is excited to play against Arsenal.

At least for these young players.

They are still young, and have the possibility of being positive and making progress.

Therefore, they are not afraid of failure.

When possible, they also want to try their abilities.

Just like De Jong, as the core player of Ajax's current midfield, the young midfielder has a natural pride.

He is a rising star that Ajax and the entire Eredivisie have paid much attention to, and he is also the most dominant midfielder.

But he is not satisfied with these, he wants to challenge a higher level.

For example, Lucky, who is currently known as the world's No. 1 defensive midfielder.

Lucky's strength is obvious to all, but as a young man, De Jong has no retreat or even fear. All he wants is to see what the gap is between him and these top stars.

He even thinks that he can suppress Lucky in some abilities.

For this reason, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night.

Yes!

He is looking forward to this game, and he is looking forward to a direct dialogue with Arsenal and Lucky.

"Come on! Guys, bring down Arsenal!"

"After Real Madrid, it's Arsenal. We will become the legend of this season!"

"Kill them!"

"Oh oh oh oh~~~Victory belongs to Ajax!"

De Jong, De Ligt and other young people kept shouting.

Their faces were red, obviously very excited.

Compared with young players, veterans like Schone and Tadic had more serious expressions.

They didn't want to be as whimsical as young people. They knew very well that Arsenal had a strong fighting power.

For this reason, compared to excitement, they were more cautious.

How to compete with Arsenal and how not to fall into disadvantage in the competition, these are what they want to care about.

Papapapa!

Schone clapped his hands and said, "I know you are excited, but I need to remind you that Arsenal is different from any team we have encountered before."

Everyone turned to look at Schone, who continued:

"Arsenal can be said to be the top-ranked team at the moment. They have not lost a game in the entire season. I don't want to discourage your morale, but you need to know what we are facing."

"So, you can't act rashly or do something selfish just because you are hot-headed. These are not allowed. Arsenal can take advantage of every opportunity to blast our goal."

Hearing this, everyone calmed down a little.

However, De Ligt frowned and said, "This sentence is too heavy. We need higher morale."

"Yes! So I have said it very lightly."

At this time, Ten Hag on the side came out and said; "Schöne is right, and De Ligt is right too."

"Arsenal is a strong team. We must pay attention to them, but we can't be afraid! We have the ability to blast their goal, but it all depends on your performance."

Ten Hag looked around, and he said with encouragement and recognition in his eyes: "I have always believed that you are the best!"

A flush of color appeared on everyone's face again.

Obviously, Ten Hag still knows how to motivate the players.

On the other side, in Arsenal's locker room, they were not as noisy as Ajax.

Mourinho was arranging tactics in an orderly manner, and others were listening quietly.

No matter from what angle, there is a gap in strength between Ajax and Arsenal.

Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Arsenal will win.

However, based on the fun of the dark horse, they still support Ajax to beat Arsenal.

But this possibility is not very high.

"It's time to play!"

Lekai stood up, and the others followed.

When they arrived at the player tunnel, the Ajax players were already standing there.

They looked forward and did not become chaotic because of Arsenal's arrival.

The two teams stood quietly on both sides, and they were also observing their opponents with their peripheral vision.

At the same time, the major commentary desks were also warming up before the game.

"This is the 2018/2019 Champions League quarter-finals, Ajax vs. Arsenal at home!"

"In the last round, Ajax eliminated Real Madrid 5-3 at home and away, which once became the biggest upset in the Champions League. This also made Ajax's young guards the focus of Europe. They are lucky, but also unfortunate, because in the second round, they immediately met Arsenal!"

"This game is a huge test for Ajax's young people. How should they deal with the powerful Arsenal this season!"

"Ajax Will Ajax and Ten Hag avoid the battle or face the challenge? ! ”

After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard immediately took over:

“For Arsenal, this Champions League game is also a top priority, but compared to the game itself, what kind of game attitude do I expect Arsenal to take? Still a steady defense or a head-on battle with Ajax? ”

“Although Mourinho’s personality makes the first option more likely, we are still looking forward to a wonderful head-on battle!”

“After all, both teams are very good at fast-paced offense!”

As the two commentators spoke, the players of both sides entered the field.

Lucky and De Ligt walked at the front.

De Ligt held his head high. As the captain of Ajax, he couldn't lose in momentum.

On the other hand, Lucky looked forward with a rather calm expression.

After both sides entered the field and took a group photo, the two captains chose sides.

During this process, De Ligt was also observing Lucky.

Lucky gave people a great sense of oppression, perhaps because of his sturdy figure and thick beard.

Lucky was also very skilled in the whole process and completed the division of sides meticulously.

Ajax got the first kick-off right.

Arsenal chose the goal on the left side close to their own fans' stands.

After guessing the side, the two came to their respective half to wait for the kick-off.

The Ajax fans at the scene cheered vigorously.

They are looking forward to this young youth guard bringing them more surprises.

Arsenal is indeed light, but there is a chance to defeat them.

On the other hand, after Arsenal shouted loudly, everyone quickly entered the state of the game.

From this link alone, Arsenal is stronger than Ajax.

The starting lineups of both teams are as follows:

Ajax (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Onana.

Defenders: Feltman, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico.

Midfielders: Ziyech, Schone, Van de Beek, De Jong, Neres.

Forward: Tadic.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Kante, Wilshere, Lukay.

Forwards: Aubameyang, Giroud, Dembele.

This lineup is the most powerful lineup of Arsenal.

Soon, the referee withdrew from the center circle and blew the whistle to kick off.

After kicking off, Tadic immediately ran towards Arsenal's half.

But he was soon spotted by Kante.

In the game where Ajax defeated Real Madrid, Tadic played a big role.

As an offensive finisher, his shooting skills and threats in front of the goal are great.

For this reason, Arsenal will not let go of this potential threat.

Tadic was closely guarded by Kante, but he did not feel impatient. His experience told him that he could get rid of it at a critical moment.

But soon, he didn't think so.

When De Jong's lob passed to Tadic, he turned his back and prepared to turn directly.

In the past, this trick was hopeless for Billy, after all, his ball control was world-class.

But when he was about to turn around, his back was suddenly blocked.

"Got you!"

Jimenez sneered, pulled up the onion on the dry land, jumped up directly, and headed the ball over the opponent's head.

"Tadic failed to turn around successfully. De Jong's lob was still very imaginative, but his teammates failed to form a threatening attack under the restrictions of Arsenal."

Tadic frowned deeply.

Arsenal's coordinated defense was too good, almost in one step.

He didn't even feel when Jimenez attacked.

It can be said that Arsenal's defense gave him a completely different feeling from other teams!

This also made Tadic's heart sink slightly.

It is estimated that he will encounter more troubles next.
