Chapter 229 Steady Entry Into the Top 16 (89/177) Part 1
The two hundred and twenty-ninth chapter firmly entered the top sixteen
"Valdy!!! Vardy scored a goal!!! What an amazing striker, you can hardly imagine that just two years ago, this piece of jade was still playing in the amateur league!!!" Letkinson Almost jumped up from the commentary seat.
"Look at his amazing performance in the Europa League!! He opened the scoring for Luton again!! 1-0!! 4-1 on aggregate!!!! So beautiful!!!!"
With the roars of the commentators on the commentary stand, the Luton fans also jumped up from their seats!
The Worth Stadium was shaking, and the whole of Luton seemed to be in a carnival.
Outside the stadium, there were also many fans who could not buy tickets to enter the stadium. Beer was spilled into the air, and all the Luton fans were cheering for this moment.
For Ajax, this moment is undoubtedly a desperate moment.
The aggregate score is 4 to 1.... This means that Ajax must score three consecutive goals away from home to equalize the aggregate score.
But if you think about it on the bright side, perhaps the Ajax fans will not be so desperate - they should have scored three goals.
Martin York roared from the sidelines, dissatisfied with the defence of Ajax's backline.
Especially Oleg, who was responsible for marking Vardy. Oleg was completely thrown off by Vardy. Vardy simply changed directions twice in a row to make Oleg lose his defense against Vardy and let Vardy lose his defense. Di easily got the chance to head the ball in the penalty area!
Oleg is actually very aggrieved, Vardy is so good at drilling, and letting him stare at Vardy alone makes him a little helpless, and in which area, Vertonghen was also taken away by Jeffrey .
Luton's corner kick was a well-planned routine,
They considered all aspects, and the three tall central defenders in front attracted attention, and in the end, it was Vardy who killed and completed the fatal blow! !
The balance of the game was broken, and for Ajax, the current form has become more severe, so they can only continue to press and attack when the game resumes.
Fortunately, for Ajax, it may not be easy for Luton to play a decent counterattack next. With only one point in the frontcourt of Vardy, Ajax strengthened its defense against Vardy. Sticking to the defense, even if Luton successfully steals the ball, it is difficult to immediately counterattack.
So the first half became Ajax's half-court offensive and defensive drill.
But how much can Ajax do against Luton's defence?
Suarez is very active, and his range of activities is very wide. In the frontcourt, Suarez can always be seen threading the needle. Suarez can always be seen on the two flanks and at the front of the penalty area.
But in the most critical area - the center of the penalty area, Suarez has no chance to catch the ball at all.
In the 18th minute of the game, Suarez wanted to try to catch the ball and then go it alone, but before he advanced to the penalty area, the football was stolen by Kante.
In the face of the opponent's most threatening player, Gao Bo also sent his most powerful interceptor to defend him. Kante always pays attention to Suarez's position. When he appears in the penalty area, Kante's main role is to block. The line of passing the ball to Suarez in the frontcourt, and when Suarez came out of the penalty area, Kante posted it in order to completely limit the Uruguayan striker.
Ajax's attack is ineffective, they have a lot of ball possession, but one thing that embarrassed the Dutch media in the stands is - the game has been more than 20 minutes now, and Ajax has not once A shot on target!
"Ajax has the ball, but why can't they even make a threat?" Linsen recently fell in love with watching Barcelona's game. In fact, Barcelona's football tactics are also derived from Dutch football. unfolded.
Ajax also have a lot of possession right now, and they are also actively trying to pass the ball forward and try to attack.
But they didn't get the ball into the box at all, and they seemed helpless against Luton's defence.
"Because Suarez lacks two players who can pass the ball to him." Gao Bo shook his head and said, "If Ajax had Xavi and Iniesta in the lineup, I would not choose to stick to it at all, because these two Players are always keen to find short-term gaps, and players like Suarez are always in the most dangerous areas."
Eriksen is a good attacking midfielder, but how can Eriksen, now 18 or 19 years old, catch up with Harvey and Xiaobai who are at their peak.
Although Suarez's strength has not yet reached its peak, Suarez's style of play is now approaching maturity. Ajax has a powerful machine gun, but they lack ammunition players who can provide ammunition for the machine gun— — In fact, even Ajax, who pulled the trigger of the machine gun, couldn't find it.
So now the situation appears like this, Gao Bo is not surprised.
A dense defense is not easy to break, and attacking a dense defense is a world-class problem, and it is the same for any team.
In the first half of the game, the two sides made no further achievements, and the two sides entered the halftime with a score of 1-0.
Gao Bo did not plan to adjust the team's formation and tactics during the halftime break. The current situation is too favorable for the team, and there is no need to adjust the risk at all.
Martin York made a substitution at the beginning of the second half.
Pantridge came on, and he replaced midfielder Dezeu.
When there was no other way, the only thing Martin York could think of was to pile up strikers in the box.
Since there are so many people in the opponent's penalty area, I also arrange more people in the penalty area, which is a very conventional idea.
However, intensive defense is not a simple intensive penalty area defense.
Pantridge is not a high-school striker. In fact, Ajax is not only short of talented midfielders - Sneijder had already transferred and left the previous season, and then Ajax's youth training The camp has never found a talented midfielder comparable to Sneijder, and now they are at the center position, and they do not have one or two high centers in reserve.
The forward pass in the positional battle is unimaginative, and there is no air tyrant in the middle of the pass.
The game continued to be deadlocked as it was in the first half.
In the 65th minute of the game, Martin York looked like he couldn't bear this situation any longer, with Luton's side taking the first point of Ajax's few crosses.
So under the command of Martin York, Alderweireld came to the forefront.
The centre-back is tall and has a good header, so he was used as a centre-forward by Martin York.
This trick has really achieved some results.
Alderweireld grabbed a header from inside the box once before his header was saved by Schmeichel.
This is probably the closest Ajax has come to a goal in the entire game.
In the ensuing game, Ajax started the common sense of passing with all their hearts. Although the success rate was relatively low, it seemed that their attack finally showed some momentum.
Every minute and second of the game passed, and until the 80th minute of the game, the score on the field remained unchanged.
"Ajax is running out of time. There are still about ten minutes left in the game. During this time, they have to score three goals. Against a defense like Luton, this is an almost impossible task!!"
Ajax is really running out of time.
From the 80th minute of the game, Gao Bo began to make substitutions.
He replaced two midfielders and then replaced Vardy, and after these three substitutions, the regular time of the game was almost over.
The three minutes of stoppage time did not produce any miracles either!
When Suarez's shot from outside the penalty area was embraced by Schmeichel, the referee blew the whistle three times and blew the end of the game! ...
First set a small goal, such as 1 second to remember: Shukeju mobile version reading website:
