The strongest striker system

In the 2014th round of the 2015/4 Eredivisie season, Ajax's away game against Groningen officially started at 8:1 p.m. The 17-year-old Chinese striker Sun Yingxiong at the pre-match press conference represented Ajax in the first game of the game. He was the center of the three forwards on the field.

The original time of this game was set at 7 o'clock in the evening local time in the Netherlands, but considering that Chinese audiences need to watch the game at 4 o'clock in the morning, the Eredivisie official made a decision two days before the game started. The game time has been readjusted.

Not only the Eredivisie League, but looking at the entire five major leagues, in the games of some giants and powerful teams, basically, the game time will be set in the middle of the night in Beijing time, so that it is convenient for Chinese fans to watch the game.

Regardless of whether these teams are willing or unwilling, China has hundreds of millions of fans, and even the five major European leagues have to bow to the vast Chinese market, let alone the Eredivisie League, which is at the level of the second-tier European leagues.

What's more, since the Chinese player Sun Yingxiong in the Ajax team will start the game, the attention of Chinese fans has greatly increased. This is what the Eredivisie officials hope to see. Sun Yingxiong, a Chinese player who plays in the Eredivisie, wants to better promote the Eredivisie to the Chinese market and win more Chinese fans. He wants to share a share of the Chinese market with the five major European leagues.

Since this is not one of the top five European leagues, none of the domestic TV stations broadcast the game, and only a large domestic sports live broadcast website bought out all the live broadcast copyrights of the Eredivisie this season.

Therefore, Chinese fans, if they want to see Chinese player Sun Yingxiong, they must go to this live sports video website to watch it. Half an hour before the start of the game, the number of real-time online users exceeded 500 In most cases, the number of people watching the five major European leagues is only 300 million.

It can be seen that the attention and enthusiasm of Chinese fans for this game is still very high. After all, such a long time has passed. The 17-year-old player actually played for the Dutch giants Ajax.

Moreover, in the first three rounds of matches played on behalf of Ajax this season, he scored 7 goals alone. Among them, he also staged a good show of scoring four goals in one game. This opponent is another Eredivisie team. The giant team Eindhoven makes Chinese fans even more obsessed and crazy about Sun Yingxiong.

Two hours before the start of the game, both Ajax and Groningen announced their starting lineups. For Ajax, the starting players are: goalkeeper: Cillessen; back line: Paulessen, Mo Isander, Feltman, Van Rijn; Midfielders: Cerrero, Philhofer, Klaassen; Forwards: Schone, Sun Yingxiong, Al Ghazi, a 4-3 -3 attacking formation.

The starting lineup for Groningen's side is: Goalkeeper: Pat; Defenders: Chiare, Burtkin, Kapelhoff, Niv; Midfielders: Lindgren, Cherry, Gilten Baird; Forward line: Van der Velden, Hosen, Antonia, the starting lineup is also a 4-3-3 formation, it seems that the two teams will play a confrontation next.

At one o'clock in the afternoon local time in the Netherlands, with the whistle of the referee, Ajax's away game against Groningen started on time. The players in Groningen wore blue uniforms and attacked from left to right. The Ajax players were wearing red uniforms and attacked from right to left, with the home team Groningen serving first.

When the game just started, the number of people who watched the game in real time on the domestic sports live broadcast platform has soared to more than 500 million people. The real-time viewing of so many people is simply better than those weekend variety shows that boast high ratings. And hot.

Since the game started at [-] o'clock in the evening Beijing time, some weekend variety shows that were originally scheduled to be at home int at [-] o'clock in the evening prime time, in order not to affect their ratings, they were specifically moved to ten o'clock to start broadcasting.

It has to be said that the power of this competition is really infinite, and those domestic variety shows that cost tens of millions of dollars to produce each episode dare not overlap with the time of this competition, so you can know How many domestic audiences did this game attract?

In the first 5 minutes of the game, neither side had a good chance, and they were always entangled in the midfield, while Sun Yingxiong, who was on the front line, did not touch the ball at all in the first 5 minutes Woolen cloth.

The main reason is that the ball cannot hit the forward line at all. Once the ball reaches the midfield, it will be intercepted and intercepted by the Groningen defenders at home. Breaking through with the ball, Groningen's defenders did not hesitate to foul to stop Ajax's attack.

Because of Groningen's defensive players, they fouled Ajax's offensive players who were looking for a quick breakthrough when they were 30 meters away from the front of the penalty area. The penalty area is also relatively far away, which does not constitute a yellow card action at all. Even if Ajax is awarded a free kick about ten meters ahead of the midfield, it cannot pose a substantial threat to Groningen's goal.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, as the team sorted out the less powerful Groningen players, they frequently made small moves near the midfield to prevent Ajax from attacking immediately, which made Ajax The players who moved forward with the ball felt very uncomfortable, and the rhythm of the offense was disrupted again and again, so naturally they could not organize an effective offense.

In addition, Groningen specially dispatched two big players with a height of about 1.9 meters to defend Sun Yingxiong closely, even if it was a long pass from the midfield to the opponent's penalty area.

Even if Sun Yingxiong can accurately judge the right place of the ball in the opponent's penalty area, under the interference of the opponent's two defenders who are almost the same height as him, such as pulling his jersey, such as pressing his shoulder , Let him directly affect the height and direction of his take-off during the take-off process, and frequently miss the falling ball.

Just now, as I said, with the defensive players of Luo Ningen, they pay attention to their movements in the penalty area. When defending Sun Yingxiong, their small movements are relatively secretive, and they are not enough to make Sun Yingxiong fall to the ground. The referee was standing very close, and he could clearly see the small moves made by the Groningen defenders behind Sun Yingxiong's back, and it did not constitute the penalty standard for calling a penalty kick.

Sun Yingxiong, who couldn't stand the frequent petty actions of the Groningen players, complained to the referee who whistled the game more than once. However, the referee only smiled at Sun Yingxiong. The small moves that came out did not constitute a foul, so Shanan should not be impatient and focus on the game.

Seeing the Groningen players on the field, they frequently made small fouls in the midfield, which effectively prevented Ajax from attacking and counterattacking many times. There were no warnings, which made Ajax coach De Boer, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately complained to the fourth official standing off the field near the center line.

At this time, De Boer believes that it is too bad for the players on the Groningen field to make these small fouls. The referee's penalty scale should be stricter, and he should not even show a warning without a yellow card. I can't justify it.

Regarding De Boer's complaint, the fourth official standing outside the center line did not pay attention, but simply persuaded De Boer a few words, don't be too emotional, and absolutely obey the referee's penalty. If you continue to complain or question, the referee will give him a yellow card warning, and if it is more serious, he will even show him a red card and send him directly to the stands.

Seeing that the fourth official refused to accept his complaints and protests, he even threatened to show him a yellow card warning, or even show him a red card to send him to the stands. Call one.

However, in the face of this situation, De Boer felt helpless. Since the fourth official has said everything to this point, if he continues to complain, he may really be fined to go to the stands. It is better to stand on the sidelines and command than to be fined in the stands.

When the game progressed to the 20th minute of the first half, according to the data displayed on the screen by the broadcast agency, the Groningen players who played at home had a total of 18 fouls and did not receive a yellow card.

On the other hand, in Ajax's away game, in the first 20 minutes of the first half, there were only 3 fouls, but some players received a yellow card. Even a commentator couldn't help but joked that Groningen had too many fouls. If the whole game ends, the number of fouls will probably exceed a hundred.

On the domestic sports live video website, there are more than 500 million comments at the bottom of the live broadcast page of this game, and one-third of the comments are all about the frequent fouls of the players on the Groningen field. In this situation, I feel that this approach is really outrageous.

In fact, this is also Groningen's helpless move, because if Ajax's offense is not restricted by fouling in the midfield, if the ball is passed to the front of the penalty area, it will pose a direct threat to the goal. It is possible to lose the ball because of this.

It is precisely because of this consideration that when the personal ability is not as good as the opponent, the head coach of Groningen thought of such a way, that is, in the midfield and at a place more than 20 meters away from the penalty area, against Ajax A player who moves forward with the ball commits a foul.

Moreover, the head coach of Groningen, before the start of the game, repeatedly urged and emphasized that the players on the field must pay attention to their foul actions, and do not move too much, as long as they can restrain Ajak As far as possible, make your own fouls as small as possible, so that it is not easy to get a card, otherwise, you will not be able to play half of the game. So many fouls, I am afraid that at least one player from Groningen will be on the field Will be sent off.

It has to be said that Groningen made full preparations before the start of the game, and also found a strategy to limit Ajax's offense, and Ajax, who is playing away, is obviously very uncomfortable with the intermittent rhythm of the game.

At that time, the Eredivisie League had just implemented the arrangement of two bottom-line referees in important games, and did not introduce the so-called VAR video assistant referee that appeared later. Falling to the ground, as long as the movement does not look too big, the referee will not call a penalty kick, because the movement is very small and will not cause Sun Yingxiong to fall to the ground.

The more I mentioned it, the more I felt that the ball was not going well. Ajax finally conceded the ball in the 35th minute of the first half. After Groningen's backcourt stole the ball, he directly made a long pass and found the left side of the top line. Antonia, who is wearing the No. 7 jersey.

After Antonia unloaded the ball passed from the backcourt, he went directly from the front of the penalty area to the fifteenth place and advanced quickly. Facing the defense of Ajax right back Van Rijn, he made a quick disguised inside Cut, it happened to break into the penalty area from the gap between Ajax left back Van Liin and left center back Feltman.

In a blink of an eye, a one-handed goal was formed. After Antonia broke into the penalty area, facing Ajax goalkeeper Cillessen, he broke into the middle of the penalty area. He did not directly choose to shoot, but continued to dribble the ball Dash forward.

Ajax goalkeeper Cillesen, who was originally standing on the goal line, saw Groningen's left winger Antonia, and did not shoot directly, but continued to break into the small penalty area.

It was too late, but it was too late, and Cillessen almost made a decision in the blink of an eye, that is, to abandon the goal and attack, trying to clear the ball at Antonia's feet out of the penalty area, and then try to keep the goal. .

And Antonia, who dribbled the ball into the small penalty area, had already seen through Cillesen's intention. He saw Cillesen abandon the goal and rushed towards him, so he stopped quickly, rubbed the ball, and shot towards the goal. near corner.

At this time, Cillessen had already made the move of abandoning the goal and attacking. He could no longer retreat. Facing Antonia's close-angle shot from five meters in front of him, he had no choice but to do nothing at all. Fighting action.

The ball was shot into the near corner, and it immediately went into the net. Groningen, who played at home, led the visiting Ajax 1-0.
